Iran accuses US of ‘interference’ for saying presidential vote wasn’t free
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA spokesman for Iran’s government hits out at the US after a State Department spokesman said last week’s presidential vote was “pretty manufactured” and neither free nor fair, accusing America of interfering in the Islamic Republic’s internal affairs.
“We have been hearing such comments for years. These remarks are an example of interference in the internal affairs of Iran. We condemn them,” Ali Rabiee is quoted saying by the Tasnim news agency.
He adds: “Despite the flashy show of democracy in the US, everybody is aware today how defective and corrupt their claimed democracy is.”
