U.S. State Department: Iranian Regime Suppresses Protesters Using Military Drones

The Persian account of the U.S. State Department on the social media platform X condemned the bloody suppression of the popular uprising in Iran and the violent actions of the Islamic Republic, warning that the Iranian government's actions will not remain hidden from the international community. In another part of these messages, the use of military tools against protesters by the Iranian government was highlighted. According to the U.S. State Department, 'during these protests, the Iranian regime has employed military drone technology against peaceful protesters.' It was explained that these drones are 'used for identifying, tracking, and pursuing individuals so that security forces can arrest them.' The Persian account of the U.S. State Department also emphasized: 'The Islamic Republic regime sees Iranian citizens as enemy fighters and wages war against them.' The messages stated: 'Iranians have risked everything to demand freedom and justice. The government's response has been ruthless violence.' The U.S. State Department stressed that internal repression is not limited to the people of Iran and 'now threatens the governments of neighboring countries as well as U.S. interests and assets in the region.' The statement continued: 'This is a recurring behavior from the Iranian regime: they always prefer violence over dialogue, whether against the people of Iran or the world.' The U.S. State Department has urged the leaders of the Islamic Republic to 'focus on listening to the voices of protesters instead of resorting to violence.' It was stated in these messages: 'The world sees what this regime is doing, and it will not be forgotten.'
