Iran’s supreme leader, Ayotellah Khamenei, has joined China to criticize the United States saying the police killing of unarmed African-American George Floyd shows the “true face” of the United States and its oppression of the peoples of the world, including its own.
Floyd’s killing by a white police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, last week Monday has sparked protests across the United States for a week leading President Donald Trump to order the military to intervene in states where the governors are ‘too weak’ to ‘dominate and take control’
Iran has now come out to criticize the US with Ali Khamenei saying “The fact that a policeman has cold-bloodedly pressed his knee on the throat of a black man until he died and those other policemen watched on without doing anything is nothing new. It is the true face of America, it’s what it has always done all over the world – in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and other countries, and before that in Vietnam. It is the normal course of action of the United States, it’s the true face of their regime. These are realities that have always been camouflaged or hidden, but they are not new”
