AhlulBayt News Agency: The Iranian Embassy in Baku has rejected comments made by the Israeli foreign minister about recent unrest in Iran, describing them as meddlesome, provocative, and entirely baseless.
In a statement released late Monday, the embassy responded to Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, who had accused the Iranian government of “oppressing” its people during a joint press conference with his Azerbaijani counterpart earlier that day.
The Iranian mission denounced Sa’ar’s remarks as deeply hypocritical, asserting that he represents a regime built on terror and occupation, and therefore has no legitimacy to speak about the internal affairs of other nations.
The statement added that a representative of a regime rooted in terror, occupation, and the colonial genocide of Palestinians—marked by state terrorism, apartheid, and widespread crimes against humanity, including the killing of women and children—has no legal or moral authority to comment on human rights or the domestic matters of other countries.
The embassy further stated that the Israeli minister’s accusations were merely an attempt to distract global public opinion from increasing pressure over the regime’s war crimes.
It also highlighted the longstanding historical ties between Iran and Azerbaijan, urging caution against Israel’s “subversive and interventionist” efforts aimed at damaging Tehran–Baku relations and destabilizing the region.
The statement noted that unrest in Iran began on January 8 after foreign-backed groups carried out terrorist attacks across the country, including killings of civilians and security personnel and destruction of property, during protests that had started on December 28 over economic grievances while the government was engaged in dialogue with protest representatives.
