WANA (Jan 11) – Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi criticized the United States in a response to a tweet from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which warned American citizens that attacking federal officers would be met with “full force of law.”

 

Araghchi highlighted what he described as a double standard, saying that recently in the U.S., an innocent young woman—an American citizen and mother of three—was shot and killed at close range by immigration police.

 

He added that the U.S. government labelled her a “domestic terrorist,” while President Trump called her killing “self-defense,” and DHS threatened that anyone who harms a federal officer will face severe punishment.

 

In his post, Araghchi also shared a video of an attack on Iranian security forces, claiming: “Here in Iran, police officers are killed by real terrorists—whom Mr. Pompeo openly identified as Mossad agents. We have evidence.”

 

He concluded by questioning the nature of the video: “Does this clip look like a protest for freedom? Or is it exactly the kind of scene that the United States would never tolerate within its own borders?”
