Iran Mocks France After Macron Blames Middle East War for Riots
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi accused French President Emmanuel Macron of "welcom[ing] atrocities against Iranians" and mockingly called for the French government to "listen" to hordes of violent rioters in a social media post on Sunday, responding to Macron blaming the war between Iran and America for the riots.
Iran’s foreign minister said that “Mr. Macron has sought out what he has by assuring the president of the United States that he sees with good eyes the atrocities against the Iranians.”
Democracy in France is threatened by the decisions of its authorities, where strict repressive measures are being introduced and the civil rights of the population, including their right to freedom of assembly, are being restricted, and the Iranian Minister for Foreign Affairs, Abbas Aracchi, has drawn attention to this in his social media post.
