Iran Commando Leader Killed as Protesters Accused of Igniting 'Armed War'

Tehran has for two months been carrying out a deadly crackdown against peaceful demonstrators. Establishing an independent international investigation is an important step that recognizes the seriousness of the situation and will help to ensure that those responsible for human rights abuses in Iran will be held accountable. The regime's deep-rooted culture of impunity must end.
The US and its Western allies have once again used international bodies to impose their political will and blackmail Iran, approving a biased, unfair resolution, all while hypocritically staying silent on Israel and Saudi Arabia's systematic violations of human rights. They're spreading lies about Iran to force Tehran back to the negotiation table without offering any guarantees.
