Biden Vows to ‘Impose Further Costs’ on Iran for Assaulting Protesters – By VOA News Staff (VOA News) / Oct 4, 2022
President Joe Biden said Tuesday the U.S. plans to “impose further costs” this week on Iran for assaulting protesters demonstrating against the government for the death of a young woman held in custody by the country’s morality police for failing to properly cover her hair with a hijab.
Biden, in a Twitter post, did not elaborate on what action the United States would take against the Tehran government.
He said, “The United States stands with Iranian women and Iranian citizens who are inspiring the world with their bravery. We’ll continue to support the rights of Iranians to protest freely.”
