The spokesman for Iran's Foreign Ministry says "full and shameless" support of the US and Britain for Israel has been a key factor in the regime's crimes and acts of genocide against the people of Palestine over the past seven months.

"By providing full and shameless support, the US and British regimes have played the biggest role in the war crimes and genocide committed by the Zionist regime during seven months!" Nasser Kan'ani said in a post on his X account.

He added that Washington and London are now cracking down on the student uprising in support of Palestine.

The Iranian spokesman cautioned the two regimes about their futile efforts to distract the world public opinion from Israel's war crimes.

"Through disseminating false information and narratives and fake news, they cannot distract the world public opinion from their disgraceful support for the Zionist regime's war crimes and genocide against the Palestinian people," Kan'ani emphasized.

Over the past few weeks, US campuses have become the battleground for demonstrations against the Israeli war on Gaza, resulting in a series of tense and occasionally violent encounters.

The students are calling for an end to Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza and demanding schools divest from companies that support the Israeli regime.

Protests are sweeping college campuses nationwide after police at Columbia University - the epicenter of student protests – attempted to clear a pro-Palestine encampment, resulting in the arrest of hundreds of students.

Brutal tactics are being used by the police, who also received training from the Israeli regime, specifically on repression, to stifle the student movement.

US police have arrested about 2,400 people during pro-Palestinian protests at 47 college campuses across the country since April 18, the Associated Press reported.

At least 34,683 people Palestinians, mostly children and women, have been killed and 78,018 people wounded in the war that Israel began on October 7, 2023, following a retaliatory operation by the Palestinian territory’s resistance movements.
