Protests in Iran: US expresses concern over Russia’s influence Protests in Iran: US expresses concern about Russia’s influence

The United States fears that Moscow can help quell mass protests in Iran.

“We know they may be considering some sort of support for Iran’s ability to take action against protesters, and unfortunately Russia has experience with that,” National Security Council communications director John Kirby said in Washington on Wednesday.

At the request of journalists, it remained somewhat unclear whether this alleged support had already started or not.

Kirby and White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre used different language. Jean-Pierre said: “We are concerned that Moscow is advising Iran on best practices for dealing with protests.”

The reason for the mass protests in Iran was the death of 22-year-old Iranian Kurd Mahsa Amini. The vice squad arrested her for allegedly violating the Islamic dress code. The woman died on September 16 in police custody. Since her death, thousands across the country have demonstrated against the government’s repressive course and Islamic rule system. (con/sda/dpa)
