TEHRAN: An Iranian intelligence officer has claimed that the United States and France are among some 20 countries involved in nationwide protests last year sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini.
The demonstrations erupted following the September 16 death in custody of Kurdish-Iranian Amini, 22, after her arrest for allegedly violating Iran´s strict dress code for women.
Hundreds of people were killed, including dozens of security personnel, and thousands were arrested in connection with what officials labelled “riots” which they said were fomented by foreign countries after Amini´s death.
“Investigations carried out by the intelligence services of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) indicate that around 20 countries were involved in the riots,” said the head of the services, General Mohammad Kazemi.
