TEHRAN, Dec 18 (NNN-IRNA) – Iranian President, Ebrahim Raisi, said that, the Americans’ presence in any country has solely resulted in “taking the people’s lives,” according to the semi-official Fars news agency.
Making the remarks in an address to a number of people, in the eastern Iranian province of South Khorasan, Raisi noted that, to know about the “Americans’ destructive presence in other countries,” there is no need to read history books, “what has taken place in western Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq as a consequence of the U.S. presence, is right before our eyes.”
Raisi noted that, during its two-decade presence in Afghanistan, the United States inflicted great cruelty on the country’s people, leaving it in complete chaos.
He said, the foes thought that they could deceive Iran’s people with fake and deceptive slogans, but Iranians know the enemies very well.
Protests erupted in Iran, after 22-year-old woman, Mahsa Amini, died in a Tehran hospital on Sept 16, a few days after her collapse at a police station. Iran accused the U.S. and some other Western countries of “inciting riots and supporting terrorists” in the country.– NNN-IRNA
