Several international rights organizations and Western governments have previously accused Iran of using harsh punishments to suppress dissent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">However, the Iranian foreign minister insisted that Iran\u2019s legal system operates within its own framework and denied that the state is pursuing extreme penalties against demonstrators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"\">\u201cIran is dealing with its internal issues according to its laws,\u201d Araghchi told Fox News, adding that external pressure and media narratives are designed to damage Iran\u2019s international standing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reaction and Significance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The comments are likely to be closely watched by Western governments, particularly the United States and European Union, which have repeatedly raised concerns over Iran\u2019s treatment of protesters.
