Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman to France: Listen to Your Own People’s Voice

“Nasser Kanani,” the spokesperson of Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, addressing the French government, said: The French government must engage in dialogue with its own people and listen to their voice.

According to ISNA, Nasser Kanani, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, wrote in a tweet: “It has been reported that French protesters set fire to the Bordeaux city hall and firefighters have joined the protesters. ‘Those who sow the wind, reap the storm.’ We do not support destruction and chaos, but we say instead of creating turmoil in other countries, listen to your own people’s voice and refrain from violence against them.

The French government must engage in dialogue with its own people and listen to their voice. Such violence has no relation whatsoever to sitting on the chair of moral instruction and preaching to others. Furthermore, French protesters are waiting to see a collective video of European, Australian, and Canadian female ministers in support of French female protesters.”

Nasser Kanani made these remarks as if he is completely unaware of what is happening in Iran. Officials of the Islamic Republic government have been openly committing grave crimes against the Iranian people for several months.

Kanani speaks of the French government listening to the voice of French people, while the Islamic Republic government has not tolerated the peaceful protests of its own people, attacking them with live ammunition, targeting children and adults alike with gunfire, assault, and suppression. So much so that many of them have committed suicide due to assault after being released.

Kanani’s remarks exemplify the proverb “the nanny is kinder than the mother” when it comes to European countries. Their hearts do not ache for the Iranian people, who witness the death of a loved one somewhere in the country every day, yet they preach to other governments about listening to their people’s voice.

The question is: what has blinded the eyes of the regime’s officials that they do not see the crimes in their own country, yet give moral lectures to other nations? How can they have the audacity to speak of morality when they show no mercy toward their own people?
