Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s foreign minister, has challenged remarks by Donald Trump, demanding evidence for his claim that 32,000 people were killed in Iran.
Araghchi said the Iranian government had released an official list documenting 3,117 people killed during recent protests, including about 200 members of the country’s security forces. He added that anyone questioning the accuracy of the figures should support their claims with evidence.
Trump had earlier said in a speech at the White House that 32,000 people had been killed in Iran over a relatively short period of time.
Referring to conditions inside Iran, Trump said the Iranian people were very different from the country’s leaders.
