TEHRAN, Nov 21 (NNN-IRNA) – Iranian President, Ebrahim Raisi, yesterday slammed the U.S., France and a number of other European countries, for “flagrantly” supporting “terrorists and rioters” in Iran, warning that, backing terrorism is definitely not going to be in their interests.
Making the remarks at a cabinet meeting, Raisi said, “the enemy” attempted to disrupt Iran’s advancements, by dealing blows to the country’s security and economy, as well as, education and production sectors, according to the website of the Iranian president’s office.
He ordered the foreign ministry to take necessary measures through diplomatic and legal channels, to “neutralise and confront” the seditions designed and instigated in the country from abroad.
Expressing deep regret over the killing of Iranian children, women, men and security forces by “rioters” over the past days, Raisi called on the related apparatuses and organisations, to promptly take firm actions against the mutineers and prevent “terrorists and rioters” from harming people’s lives and property.
Protests erupted in Iran after 22-year-old Mahsa Amini died in a Tehran hospital, a few days after she collapsed at a police station in Sept. The Iranian government blames the U.S. and some other states for “inciting riots and supporting terrorists” in the country.– NNN-IRNA
