Iran has officially expressed its support for the anti-Israeli protests that have been taking place at several prestigious U.S. universities. The protests have led to the arrest of hundreds of students at institutions such as Columbia University, the University of Southern California, MIT, and UT-Austin, among others, due to disruptions of campus activities and trespassing.
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian has openly backed the protesters, condemning Israel and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He criticized the law enforcement response to the demonstrations and subsequent mass arrests, stating that Iran is deeply concerned and disgusted by the actions taken.
