Spox: Iran questions US call for law and order

Tehran (IP) - Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman questioned Trump administration's call for "law and order" saying it is contradictory to the US violations of international laws.

Iran PressIran news: Iran's Spokesman for Ministry of Foreign Affairs Seyyed Abbas Mousavi wrote in his latest tweet on Sunday: "How in the world does the US regime being addicted to the infringement of international laws and norms expect ordinary Americans to believe the call for "law and order"?!"

He referred to recent remarks by President Donald Trump, who called himself the "President of Law and Order" and threatened to deploy thousands of armed soldiers and law enforcement officers in various US cities to quell recent protests.

Trump blamed the decision on the failure of local governors and officials to take steps to end the unrest in the United States.

Trump called himself an ally of legal protesters and blamed "anarchists" for violence and looting in the United States.

Anti-racism protests began after the killing of the black American George Floyd by a white American police officer and spread from the United States to around the world.
