A spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry criticized, through an SNS on July 1, the irresponsible approach of the Western countries which remained indifferent to the obstructive moves against the process of democratic elections of overseas Iranian citizens.

Recently some anti-Iranian figures appeared in places where the elections of the Iranian president were held in the UK and other Western countries and hindered voters’ participation in the elections while threatening and insulting them, he said.

However, Western governments which had clamoured for “defending democracy” took no measures against such acts of infringing the legitimate rights of Iranian citizens, he said, adding that all the countries concerned should explain the reason.
