Iran's President Slams US as Largest Factor of Instability in the World
Amid ongoing tensions over US backing for Israel's latest assault on Gaza, Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi has accused the United States of being the "largest factor of instability" in the entire world.
During the Tehran International Conference on Palestine, Raisi condemned the US, which claims to defend freedom and democracy, as the perpetrator of
major crimes and
global instability.
"Those who claim to protect freedom and democracy have shown themselves to be the perpetrators of the greatest crimes, racial discrimination, and human rights violations," Raisi said. "It has become clear to everyone that the US is not only not a factor of stability in any region of the world but has been and remains the largest factor of instability and lack of security worldwide, including in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and other parts of the world."
His statement follows US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's claims that America does not seek war with Iran and urges Tehran to de-escalate tensions in the Middle East.
