Tehran (IP) – The Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council wrote on his Twitter that racist Zionism fears more than any other state about "the collapse of racist symbols."

Iran Press/Iran News: Referring to the recent events in the Western countries where people are protesting against racism, Rear Admiral Ali Shamkhani said in a Tweet message on Thursday that "racist Zionist regime should be more concerned than any state with the collapse of racist symbols; They know it's their turn after the statues."

Mass protests against racism have been held by the American people across US cities, especially Minneapolis.

The demonstrations in the US are the result of anger over the death of an African-American man, George Floyd, who was killed by a white police officer while being arrested.

Floyd's neck and chest were pressed to the ground by policemen for nearly nine minutes, despite the victim's pleas that he could not breathe.

Thousands of people, including journalists, have been arrested and injured by the US police over the past days.
