Dubai:
Iran's hardline president on Friday said that Iran had been freed by the 1979 Islamic revolution, responding to a vow by US President Joe Biden to "free Iran".
"I am telling Biden that Iran was freed 43 years ago," President Ebrahim Raisi said in a live televised speech.
Biden on Thursday vowed to "free" Iran and said that demonstrators working against the country's government would soon succeed in freeing themselves.
