Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanaani has condemned US authorities for violently suppressing the protests of pro-Palestinian students across the country, Al Jazeera reports.
He wrote on X: “The move of the US government authorities to distort the truth and describe genuine student and academic anger and protests as anti-semitism, in order to justify and use of violent suppression tools to silence the peaceful protests and gatherings of pro-Palestine students, does not diminish the ugliness of their actions.
“A significant number of Jewish people, including Jewish students, have declared their disgust with the hateful crimes of the Zionist regime and the US government’s shameful support for the regime.”
He added that the “mask of hypocrisy” has been removed “from the faces of the false defenders of freedom of speech and human rights”.
