"We certainly regard such statements and positions--including expressions of support by certain US officials for protesters--as a clear interference in our country's internal affairs.

In the Islamic Republic of Iran, both the Leader of the Islamic Revolution and the President have explicitly stated that peaceful protest is a right of the people and must be heard and pursued through legal channels," Fathali said.
