Iran's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, has raised concerns over the police handling of pro-Palestinian protests on US college campuses. In a statement made on Thursday, Amir-Abdollahian expressed deep concerns regarding the suppression and harsh treatment of professors and students by police.
The Foreign Minister criticized the actions of the police, stating that the suppression aligns with Washington's unwavering support for the Israeli regime. He highlighted what he perceives as double standards and contradictory behavior on the part of the US government when it comes to freedom of speech.
Amir-Abdollahian's comments come in the wake of escalating tensions surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with protests erupting on college campuses across the United States. The Minister's remarks underscore Iran's stance on the issue and its condemnation of what it views as excessive force used against demonstrators.
The Iranian government has been a vocal critic of US foreign policy in the Middle East, particularly concerning its support for Israel. This latest statement from Amir-Abdollahian further emphasizes the divide between the two nations on matters related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the US government will respond to Iran's criticism and whether it will address the concerns raised by the Foreign Minister regarding the handling of pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses.
