State Department spokesman: Iran must stop foreign terror and human rights abuses inside the country

VOA – A spokesman for the State Department warned in a recent statement about the terror efforts of the Islamic Republic outside of Iran and the violation of human rights inside Iran.

“There is a need for a serious action to stop the assassinations and violence committed by  the Islamic Republic of Iran abroad, as well as to improve the human rights situation inside,” said Heather Nauert on Wednesday.

“We will continue to support the voices of the Iranian people and strengthen the global support of our efforts,” she said. The world must  unite against  Iran’s violation.”
