TEHRAN- Iranian parliament speaker’s special advisor for international affairs Hussein Amir Abdollahian has blasted the U.S. for its crimes against the regional states, including its wars and sanctions, and further dismissed Washington’s claims about advocating human rights.
Addressing a gathering in the city of Mashhad via video conference, Amir Abdollahian said, “The U.S. has always used statements about human rights as a showcase to hide the bitter realities behind it.”
“The U.S. invaded certain countries, including Afghanistan and Iraq, in the name of democracy and fight against terrorism and bombed residential areas,” he added.
“They used the terrorists as a tool to foment insecurity, as Trump and Clinton revealed it in the U.S. presidential campaigns,” Amir Abdollahian said.
