US State Department Rejects Iran's Claims of Protest Incitement

The US government has firmly rejected accusations from Tehran regarding American involvement in recent anti-government protests in Iran. A State Department spokesperson described these claims as a "delusional attempt at deflection," emphasizing that they aim to conceal the internal challenges faced by the Iranian regime. This statement came in response to allegations made by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who accused the US of inciting the protests. The US maintains that it has no connection to the protests and respects the Iranian people's right to peaceful demonstration.
