German Foreign Minister condemns crackdown on protests in Iran
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul condemned the violent dispersal of anti-government protests in Iran.
He posted his statement on X.
Wadephul emphasized that the citizens of Iran have the right to peacefully express their views. He criticized the excessive use of force against demonstrators and called on the Iranian authorities to adhere to their international human rights obligations.
Explosions and large fires have shaken Iran amid escalating anti-government protests.
Iran is concerned about U.S. actions in Venezuela in the context of protests.
Significant changes are expected in Iran amid the widespread demonstrations, and U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly warned that he would target the “Ayatollah regime” if the government continues its repression of protesters.
