TEHRAN – On the second anniversary of the riots that convulsed Iran in 2022, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani has strongly criticized the United States and certain Western countries for their new pronouncements on Iran's human rights record.

In a post on his X account on Monday, Kanaani stated, "Those countries should take a long look at their own history, which is replete with human rights violations, before casting stones at Iran." 

He went on to describe the U.S. and its allies as "professional violators of human rights," accusing them of being "aggressors and imposers of bloody wars on other countries and nations." 

Kanaani further emphasized the hypocrisy of these countries, pointing to their unwavering support for the Israeli regime in its ongoing genocidal war on Gaza as further evidence of their "dark human rights record."

"The word 'shame' seems to be completely foreign to the officials of some countries," Kanaani concluded his post.
