The White House condemned the executions in Iran on Monday, noting that the United States is siding with other countries in calling for an “immediate halt” to executions.
“We condemn the executions of Mohammad Mehdi Karmi and Mohammad Hosseini and the new sentences handed down today,” said White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, referring to two people executed Saturday and three death sentences handed down Monday.
“We join our partners around the world in calling for an immediate end to these abuses. Iran will be held accountable,” he added.
