TEHRAN: The spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry debunked the US president’s bogus support for the women of Iran, saying the US regime’s cruelty and sanctions have affected even Iranian patients and children.
“President of a regime that for +40 years has left no stone unturned in showing enmity & cruelty toward Iranian nation & had no mercy in imposing economic terrorism even against Butterfly kids, claims to ‘stand with women of Iran’,” Nasser Kanaani said in a tweet on Thursday, referring to the American sanctions that have blocked the export of special bandages to Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) patients in Iran. He also noted that the US policy of maximum pressure and sanctions on Iran has not excluded even Iranian women and mothers.
In a statement on the occasion of international day for the elimination of violence against women on November 23, US President Joe Biden claimed support for the women of Iran. Thursday, Iran criticized the UN Human Rights Council for passing a resolution calling for the creation of a fact-finding mission to look into claims of human rights abuses relating to recent riots in the nation.
Posing a tweet on Thursday, the Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said that the German government has been using unfair sanctions for years to violate human rights.
“The regime in Berlin, as the main provider of CWs (chemical weapons) to Saddam, and other opportunists have conducted massive HR (human rights) violations through unjust & inhumane sanctions,” Iranian Minister said, referring to chemical weapons that were used by the former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein against Iran during the eight-year Iraqi imposed war in the 1980s (known in Iran as the Sacred Defense).
“Now, they are abusing HR mechanisms to perpetrate more HR violations, all in the name of a farce “solidarity” with Iranians,” Amirabdollahian continued.
“Even worse and more shameful, they’re doing this for cheap domestic games. Iran, as a strong and stable country, is fully committed to human rights but won’t allow foreign meddling in its internal affairs,” he added.
“In the name of false “solidarity” with the Iranians, they are now hypocritically misusing “human rights” mechanisms to commit even more human rights violations against our people,” he went on to say.
Earlier Thursday, the UN Human Rights Council voted to establish an independent international fact-finding mission to investigate alleged human rights violations in Iran related to riots.
