Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi said the United States was behind recent nationwide protests triggered by the case of Mahsa Amini.
"We should not allow the enemy to weaken our national unity," Raisi asserted in a televised interview, adding that the final results of a forensic probe into the young woman's death in the custody of the morality police were to be released in the coming days.
