Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi
Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi has denounced US officials' "duplicitous and opportunist" support for recent gatherings in protest against economic conditions in some Iranian cities.
"The great Iranian nation regards the opportunist and deceitful support of the American officials for certain gatherings over the recent days in some Iranian cities as nothing but duplicity and hypocrisy of the US administration," Qassemi said on Saturday.
He condemned the "cheap, worthless and invalid" remarks by US officials and said, "The Iranian people attach no value to the opportunistic remarks by American officials and [President Donald] Trump himself."
He emphasized that the Iranian people are the main pillar of the country's security and progress.
In a tweet on Friday, Trump once again made meddlesome remarks about the recent gatherings in protest against economic conditions in Iran and said the Iranian government should "respect their people's rights, including right to express themselves. The world is watching!"
The US reaction was made after groups of Iranian protesters held rallies in several cities this week to voice their anger over rising prices and unemployment.
Qassemi further said the noble Iranian nation is closely monitoring Trump's leading role in human rights violations in Palestine, Yemen and Bahrain.
The nation also remembers Trump's "spiteful" bids to bar Iranians from entry to the United States and "the arrest of many Iranians residing in that country under baseless pretexts," he added.
"The Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran has envisaged democratic structures to legally protect people's civil demands, and it is completely possible to follow up on these demands within the framework of law," he said.
The Iranian spokesperson pointed to nearly 70 years of interference of different US administrations in the Islamic Republic's internal affairs and said, "US officials are not in a position to sympathize with the great and wise Iranian nation."
