Iran cites Trump on Minneapolis shooting to brand protestors 'terrorists'

Jan 12, 2026, 16:48 GMT+0

Tehran summoned diplomats from Britain, Germany, France and Italy to the foreign ministry on Monday to protest what they described as support for Iranian protestors and interference in its internal affairs.

Video circulated online showed the attendees watching an Iranian-produced film with English subtitles showing scenes of unrest in the country which it labeled "armed terrorists engaging security forces."

The film segued into scenes from the deadly shooting of a Minnesota woman by US law enforcement agents last week and superimposed quotes by US President Trump on the disputed incident in which Trump says she was a "professional agitator."
