A regime that commits the worst human rights abuses and that “refuses to live by the rules of civilized diplomatic practice”, and whose “behavior has gotten worse”:
The Islamic Republic still sees the invasion of embassies as an acceptable political tool.

“Iran’s supreme leader slams US election”, By Mallory Shelbourne, The Hill, October 19, 2016:
Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, took to Twitter on Wednesday to slam the U.S. presidential campaign.
Khamenei said the race and the issues being discussed were the “typical result of lack of spirituality & faith among those in power.” He used the popular #debate hashtag and in a second tweet also went after the U.S. media.
“One of the 2 main US presidential candidates will lead a country which has power, wealth & highest number of nukes & world’s biggest media!” he added.

Today like previous years, African-Americans are still under pressure, oppressed and subjected to discrimination. #Ferguson
