When Iran denounces police violence in France and urges Paris to guarantee 'freedom of protest'

Iranian officials criticized France for its perceived hypocrisy regarding protests, highlighting the contrast between France's response to domestic unrest and Iran's violent suppression of protests. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghtchi urged President Macron to listen to the demands of the French people for change and freedom of assembly. This comes after Iran faced severe backlash for its own crackdown on protests, which has been described as the bloodiest in its history, with ongoing executions and restrictions on information about the situation.
