Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will not attend the Munich Security Conference (MSC) in February, a spokesperson for the event confirmed Friday.
“Several weeks ago, invitations were extended to individual government representatives from Iran. In light of recent developments, the Munich Security Conference will not uphold these invitations,” the spokesperson told POLITICO.
Araghchi this week described the anti-government demonstrations in Iran — in which thousands of protesters have been killed in a wave of repression driven by the Tehran regime — as “violent riots.”
