Iran, which has accused the US and Israel of fomenting the ongoing unrest in the Middle Eastern country, said on Monday it strongly condemned \u201cinterventionist statements\u201d by US President Donald Trump and other officials regarding its internal affairs.<\/p>\n
Trump has warned Tehran of strikes over the crackdown on the protests and also said on Sunday that he was weighing a range of strong responses, including military options, to action against protesters.<\/p>\n
Iran\u2019s latest condemnation of his statements came in a press release titled \u201cFact Sheet on Recent Protests in Iran\u201d, which was shared by the Iranian embassy in Islamabad on the social media platform X.<\/p>\n
In the statement, Tehran expressed \u201cdeep concern regarding overt and increasing foreign interference in the country\u2019s internal affairs and recent protests\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Islamic Republic of Iran strongly condemns the interventionist statements made by the president of the United States of America and other American officials,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n
\u201cSuch coercive and unlawful positions constitute a flagrant violation of the fundamental principles of UN Charter and international law, particularly the principle of sovereignty and non-intervention, and effectively amount to encouragement of violence and terrorism against Iranian citizens. These reckless statements are not unprecedented.\u201c<\/p>\n
It was recalled that days earlier, the US president had \u201cpublicly threatened the Islamic Republic of Iran with the use of force, including the prospect of renewed military attacks against Iran\u2019s peaceful nuclear facilities and its defensive capabilities\u201c.<\/p>\n
The press release also mentioned economic pressures on Iran, resulting from universal coercive measures.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe extensive imposition of unilateral coercive measures had a direct and adverse impact on the Iranian people\u2019s livelihood and economic situation, severely restricting the country\u2019s financial resources, disrupting trade and investment, impeding access to essential goods and services, and consequently intensifying economic pressure on ordinary citizens,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n
In a reference to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the statement said: \u201cThe prime minister of the Zionist regime has made blatantly interventionist statements regarding Iran\u2019s internal developments and has portrayed himself as sympathetic to the Iranian people.<\/p>\n
\u201cSuch claims are profoundly deceptive, particularly considering the aggressive actions of this regime against Iran, which have resulted in the killing of more than 1,100 Iranian citizens.\u201c<\/p>\n
It further stated: \u201cDecades of criminal actions by the Zionist regime against the Iranian people cannot be concealed by rhetorical manoeuvres and or hypocritical behaviour. It is evident that the Zionist seeks to exploit every opportunity to sow division within Iranian society and undermine national cohesion.<\/p>\n
\u201cStatements by him and certain hardline American officials amount to incitement to violence, terrorism and criminal acts,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
