Tehran, June 17, The Iran Project – Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has suggested holding American human rights week in Iran from this year. United States has committed so many crimes in the 20th and 21st century that it is not strange to name a week for reviewing and investigating American crimes against humanity. Although some of these crimes were carried out by other countries but others are solely committed by the US among them is using nuclear bomb twice.
