US State Department: Islamic Republic has oppressed Iranian people for 41 years; Iranians deserve a glorious future

The US State Department, on the occasion of the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, published several messages on Twitter, referring to the years following the Islamic Revolution as “41 years of oppression” and emphasized that it supports the Iranian people in achieving a better future.

In a message posted Tuesday, February 11 on the US State Department’s Twitter account, it stated: “In the 41 years since the beginning of the Islamic Revolution, Iran’s regime has only created terror, corruption, repression, hostage-taking, nuclear ambitions, missile launches, and 41 years of oppression for its citizens and neighbors. The Iranian people deserve a future worthy of their glorious past.”
