Iran Press/Europe: Esmaeil Baghaei Hamaneh in his latest tweet wrote: "Iran protects human rights along with safeguarding its people's security & safety; 'human rights' and 'security' are mutually reinforcing; people can hardly enjoy their human rights if their ‘security’ to do so is left unsecured."
The Iranian diplomat also went on to say that no proud nation would let their national security, public safety & order be compromised by malign actors who have shown times and again that ‘human rights’ is only a hypocritical excuse for their evil interference.
The government decided on Friday, November 15, 2019, to cut gasoline subsidies to fund schemes for direct help to low-income and middle-income families.
On Saturday, November 16, President Hassan Rouhani, Parliament Speaker َAli Larijani and Judiciary Chief Ebrahim Raisi convened a session of the Supreme Council of Economic Coordination and agreed that all state bodies should fully cooperate to implement the decision.
Following the decision, some cities in Iran have witnessed largely peaceful protests, but there have been instances of violent behavior by some rioters, such as destruction and burning of some public and private property.
However; the people all across Iran have been marching so far to voice their support of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution and disgust with recent rioters' actions. 219
