Emerging story

After the recent clashes between United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and citizens, a video has been circulating on social media showing a police officer fly-kicking a 15-year-old girl in the United States.

An account on X named “SilencedSirs” posted the video and commented, “This assault didn’t happen in Tehran… It happened in the land of democracy.”

This assault didn’t happen in Tehran… It happened in the land of democracy.

🛑 *This attack happened not in Tehran, but in America* where women are beaten on the streets*

America does not need to export democracy at all.
*It needs to learn it itself first.*#Iran #America 👇 pic.twitter.com/1XYxLUsYWV
