DUBAI (Reuters) – President Ebrahim Raisi on Sunday blamed his U.S. counterpart for inciting “chaos, terror, and destruction” in Iran, the official IRNA news agency reported, amid protests which have rocked the country for the past 4 weeks.
“The American president, who allows himself through his comments to incite chaos, terror and destruction out of the country, needs to be reminded of the everlasting words of the founding father of the Islamic Republic, who called America the nice devil,” Raisi said.
“Iran has to finish the violence against its own residents simply exercising their fundamental rights,” U.S. President Joe Biden said on Saturday.
