On Sunday, November 24, on the Persian page of the American Foreign Ministry on Channel X, in response to the presence of the head of the Basij organization Hossein Tab, at the Tehran Film Festival, it was written that he spoke about the civilian casualties before the international community, while ignoring "the blood on the hands of the regime".
That user account also wrote, "Pretending to protect vulnerable people while peaceful protests inside the country are being violently repressed requires incredible audacity," adding that during the protests in January last year, "thousands of young protesters" were shot by security forces.
The Persian page of the US State Department went on to write that film festivals and "chosen slogans" cannot hide the fact that "a government that kills its own citizens to stay in power has no place to preach to others.
