Iran's president on Friday said that Iran had been freed by the 1979 Islamic revolution, responding to a vow by U.S. President Joe Biden to "free Iran", APA reports citing Reuters.
"I am telling Biden that Iran was freed 43 years ago," President Ebrahim Raisi said in a live televised speech.
He said that Iran gained freedom 43 years ago and is determined not to be held in captivity, adding that the Islamic Republic of Iran will not become their "milk cows".
