Different and diverse aspects of US administrations’ crimes against Iranian nation expose fake, political human rights gestures of US officials and instrumental use of human rights,” Nasser Kanaani said in a post on his Twitter account on Wednesday.
“Devising coup d’état, providing support to 8-year imposed war, intentional downing of passenger plane, waging hybrid warfare, sponsoring MKO terrorists, imposing bans and maximum pressure against Iranians are only examples of US regime countless crimes against Iranian nation,” the spokesman added.
“The reason behind US anger at IRGC, spread of lies & baseless allegations against it is clear; IRGC is a pillar of Iranian national power, has humiliated apartheid Zionist regime & disrupted US domineering strategies in the region,” he stated.
