Supporting the people of Iran is a priority for the Biden administration
The press conference with Ned Price, the spokesperson for the U.S. State Department, was held on the eve of Joe Biden’s adventurous and intense international trip. The President of the United States has embarked on a long journey to Egypt, Cambodia, and Indonesia to participate in three major summits: the Climate Change Conference, the ASEAN Leaders’ Summit, and the G20 Leaders’ Summit.
In this press conference, regarding matters related to Iran, Ned Price prioritized explaining U.S. government policies in support of the Iranian people under the current circumstances and the ongoing civil protests. Even questions directed at him about Robert Malley’s important meeting next week with the officials of three European countries were redirected by him to the topic of supporting the people of Iran.
Ultimately, under pressure from journalists, he spoke about the recent report from the International Atomic Energy Agency and called on the Iranian regime to fully cooperate with the agency.
Soon, we should expect announcements of new plans from the U.S. and Europe regarding Iran. The discussion about Iran’s cooperation with Russia in the aggression against Ukraine will not easily fade into the background.
