Kirby: Iran funding protests in the US

EPA-EFE/SHAWN THEW

White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby said on Thursday that the Biden administration recognizes that Iran is providing financial support for certain demonstrations against Israel taking place in the United States.

"We do know that Iran has been funding and encouraging some of the protest activity here in the US, some of it," Kirby told the press. "We do not believe all the protest activity out there on a daily basis is being fully funded by Iran."

Kirby's comments come after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the US Congress during yesterday's address that Iran was funding pro-Palestinian protests in the country.
