Floyd's death shows 'true face' of the US - Iran's supreme leader
The death of an unarmed African-American while in police custody shows the US' "true face", Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has said.
"That a policeman calmly puts a knee on the neck of a black person and keeps it there... while several other policemen stand there watching and taking no action, is not something that has just emerged," Khamenei said in a speech on Wednesday.
"This is America's nature, this is what America has been doing to the whole world all along," he said.
Already strained tensions between the US and Iran deteriorated further earlier this year after the US killing of a top Iranian general in an airstrike in January.
Last year, Iran had its own mass protests against a rise in fuel prices. According to Amnesty International, more than 300 people were killed in a crackdown against the unrest, while thousands of others were reportedly arbitrarily detained.
