The Biden administration on Wednesday saluted the United Nations member states for voting to remove Iran from a panel that advocates for women’s rights around the world.
White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan called the vote “historic” and said all nations should hold Iran accountable for its policies that suppress the rights of women and girls.
Tehran has brutally cracked down on protests against the Islamist regime with security forces across the country targeting women with shotgun fire to their faces, breasts and genitals, according to a report in London’s Guardian newspaper.
