Iran’s Raisi dismisses Biden ‘free Iran’ pledge after protest surge

TEHRAN, 06 November 2022, (TON): Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi on Friday dismissed a pledge from US leader Joe Biden to free Iran as the clerical regime faced a new upsurge in seven weeks of protests.

The protests began after the September 16 death of Mahsa Amini who had been arrested by the morality police.

In their scale, nationwide spread and anti-regime nature, the demonstrations have become the biggest challenge from the street to the authorities since the 1979 revolution.

Campaigning for mid-term elections in the United States, Biden had said “don’t worry we’re gonna free Iran. They’re gonna free themselves pretty soon.”
