TEHRAN, Nov 23_The United States is brazenly attempting to overthrow the government of Iran by targeting its people with more economic sanctions, according to American writer and political commentator Daniel Patrick Welch.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club(YJC)_Welch made the remarks in an interview with Press TV on Friday after US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo threatened to impose more sanctions on Iran over the country’s handling of the recent riots, even though the unrest is believed to be the result of Washington’s unilateral sanctions on Iran.
Pompeo on Thursday urged Iranians to send photos and other information documenting what he called “repression,” while vowing to sanction "abuses" by the Iranian government.
"I have asked the Iranian protesters to send us their videos, photos and information documenting the regime's crackdown on protesters," Pompeo tweeted, vowing that the US will “expose and sanction the abuses."
Welch said, “Pompous Pompeo is the perfectly named source for the US government hypocrisy. And it’s interesting that this time of the year Thanksgiving is the perfect backdrop, this sham holiday that the US celebrates -- its own genocide of the natives and the founding mythology of the country is just rife with lies and historical subterfuge that the Americans teach themselves and their children."
“There is no interference in other people’s countries and lives and political processes that is not twisted to serve the interest of Empire,” he added.
