There is freedom of expression in Iran, but the protests that have taken place in recent days are “unacceptable” and cause chaos, President Raisi said, referring to angry reactions to the death of 22-year-old Mahsha Amini while in custody by morality police in Tehran.
Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi has again questioned the value of reviving the 2015 deal on Tehran’s nuclear program, saying he saw no point in a deal that did not end International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspections of his country.
“How can we have a sustainable deal if these investigations don’t stop?” said the Iranian president at a press conference on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
Earlier, from the floor of the UN General Assembly, Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid argued that the only way to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons is to threaten them militarily.

According to the NGO Iran Human Rights (IHR), more than 30 people have lost their lives during the violent suppression of demonstrations in various cities of Iran.
The Iranian president promised that a thorough investigation will be conducted into the circumstances of the 22-year-old’s death, noting that in the medical examiner’s report there are no signs of abuse of the girl by the police. He did not fail to accuse the West of “hypocrisy”, stating that human rights violations must be examined globally and “not with double standards”.
