TEHRAN, Mar. 09 (MNA) – The Iranian Foreign Minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian reacted to Meta Company's action to close the Leader's Instagram and Facebook accounts.

"The mottos of freedom of expression by some Western claimants are hollow and showy slogans and a cover for their illegitimate political goals,"  Amir-Abdollahian said.

"Blocking the media accounts of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution is not only a violation of freedom of speech, but also an insult to millions of followers of his positions and news," he added.

Amir-Abdollahian condemned the anti-freedom of speech action of the Meta company in blocking the media accounts of the Leader of the Revolution and said, "His Eminence, Ayatollah Khamenei is the most prominent supporter of the oppressed people of Palestine and Gaza in the world, and the Silicon Valley Empire cannot prevent this voice from reaching the public opinion of the world."

He added that one of the signs of the collapse of morality and the moral system of the world is the unreasonable behavior of American platforms in censoring the words of Ayatollah Khamenei and the supporters of the displaced people of Gaza and more than 30,000 Palestinian martyrs in the last 5 months, and this company must answer for its illegal and unethical behavior.
