Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi on Thursday accused the United States of resorting to “policy of destabilization’ against the Islamic Republic which is gripped by protests over Mahsa Amini’s death.
A wave of unrest has rocked Iran since the 22-year-old, an Iranian of Kurdish origin, died on September 16 after her arrest by the morality police in Tehran for allegedly violating the country’s strict dress code for women.
The street violence has led to dozens of deaths, mostly of protesters but also members of the security forces. Hundreds have also been arrested.
