White House National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien has repeated US Senator Marco Rubio's claim that some foreign countries, which he described as "enemies of the United States", were involved in the ongoing protests in the United States.

Iran PressAmerica: "Marco Rubio is 100 percent right that our foreign enemies are taking advantage of the current crisis to provoke disorder and damage our democracy. We will not allow this to happen," he told ABC News on Sunday night.

Asked if Russia was taking advantage of the situation, the White House national security adviser said: "Yes, Russian activists may be involved, but I saw is that a spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry was attacking the State Department. Therefore, this issue comes directly from the (Chinese) government."

He even accused Iran of meddling in the anti-racism protests in the United States, adding: "Look, Iran has certainly been active in this area." We have several tools, but we are working closely with our allies.

The US cities are protesting against racial discrimination in response to the violent killing of a black American George Floyd by the police.
