Iran Press/Iran news: Reacting to his American counterpart’s meddlesome statements, Abbas Mousavi added on Wednesday that “it is obvious for the whole world that the American regime does not believe in human rights and recognizes interfering in such issues as its right in order to act as a human rights protector.”
