Ebrahim Raisi blamed protests over mandatory head scarfs for women on outside forces.
President Ebrahim Raisi assailed Western powers, Western media and Israel, which he referred to only as "the Zionist regime." | Jason DeCrow/AP PhotoWestern powers are behind the protests in Iran against mandatory head scarfs for women, President Ebrahim Raisi said in an interview that aired Sunday.
The three European countries Raisi cited appeared to be Britain, France and Germany, whom Zakaria and Raisi discussed in relation to the international 2015 nuclear pact that has fallen apart. Raisi had nothing nice to say about those Western powers in relation to that agreement and the ongoing disputes over uranium enrichment and Iran’s potential development of nuclear weapons.
In addition to condemning Western governments, Raisi also blamed Western media. “What occurred last year was a war conducted in the media by the enemy,” he said. “I don’t want to name TV networks or news networks, but networks who are headquartered in the three European countries and in the United States of America who broadcast news 24 hours a day. They openly teach tactics of terror.”
As the head of a theocratic government that has strictly enforced its version of Islamic law since the 1970s, Raisi was unfazed.
