White House: We are focusing on Iran’s behavior in the next 6 months

John Kirby, spokesman and coordinator of the strategic communications of the White House National Security Council, on Thursday local time, in the group of reporters, in response to a question that what policy will Biden adopt in the next 6 months from his government in front of Iran? He said: In the next 6 months, the Biden administration, in cooperation with Vice President Kamala Harris, will focus on Iran’s behavior and continue to hold it accountable.

He continued by repeating Washington’s claims against Iran, which means that Iran is blamed for all its destabilizing behavior, including its support for Lebanon’s Hezbollah, Hamas, and its support for the Houthis (Yemen’s Ansarullah) to continue the attack. We will respond to the ships in the seas, as well as Iran’s direct attacks on these ships, and on the other hand, the continued support of Russia in the war against Ukraine.

Kirbi pointed out: The Biden government has imposed more than 600 sanctions against Iran in the last three and a half years and will continue to focus on this.

In response to another question, this spokesperson of the Biden administration said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the protesters in America as idiots who support Iran, what is the opinion of the American government about this? He added: “We do not use such expressions.”

He said: We know that Iran has tried to interfere and create division in some cases and has supported some protesters, but saying that they were all financed by Iran is “regrettable” and does not reflect the reality of the protests. .

Kirbi continued: It is not right to attribute all protests to Iran. Most of the protests are spontaneous and show the real concern of the people, which is a sign of a real democracy.

At the same time as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speeches, thousands of protesters in Washington DC came to the streets near the US Congress building to protest Netanyahu’s presence.

The US Congressional Police reported before Netanyahu’s speech that some protesters near the Congress and some buildings became violent and the police used pepper spray.

CNN news network also reported that at the same time as Netanyahu’s speech in Congress, Congress police arrested 5 protesters.
