Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi on Monday emphasized that certain actions are underway to counter the US officials' interventions in recent unrest in Iran and said Iran"sees these statements and interventions not as a gesture of friendship and benevolence towards the Iranian nation, but as attempts to increase tensions and riots," APA reports citing IRNA.
Talking in his Monday morning press briefing, Mousavi referred to the recent events in the country and said more unpleasant than these events were the interference of foreign countries which Iran strongly condemned.
He said Iran considered holding protests as a right for its people which is stipulated in the constitution, noting that the Iranian government has always recognized people's right for peaceful protests in a way that in recent years there have been similar protests where people have been protesting to certain issues and expressed their demands.
The Foreign Ministry spokesman further stated that the bunch of rioters and hooligans are different from the context of the protests.
He said many countries that intervened in Iran's internal affairs in recent days deliberately did it so they must take responsibility for their actions.
During the riots, he stressed, some terrorist groups took actions that are being investigated and dealt with by judiciary and security bodies.
