Iran's Prez says backing 'terrorism' not in West's interests


Tehran, Nov 21 (IANS): Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has slammed the US, France and a number of other European countries for "flagrantly supporting terrorists and rioters" in Iran, warning that backing terrorism is definitely not going to be in their interests.

Making the remarks at a cabinet meeting, Raisi said "the enemy" attempted to disrupt Iran's advancements by dealing blows to the country's security and economy as well as education and production sectors, Xinhua news agency reported, citing the Iranian President's office website.

He ordered the foreign ministry to take necessary measures through diplomatic and legal channels to "neutralise and confront" the seditions designed and instigated in the country from abroad.

Expressing deep regret over the killing of the Iranian children, women, men and security forces by "rioters" over the past days, Raisi called on the related apparatuses and organizations to promptly take firm actions against the mutineers and prevent "terrorists and rioters" from harming people's lives and property.

Protests erupted in Iran after 22-year-old Mahsa Amini died in a Tehran hospital a few days after she collapsed at a police station in September. The Iranian government blames the United States and some other states for "inciting riots and supporting terrorists" in the country.
