who only a few days earlier were united in outraged⁹ grief

over the American killing¹⁰ of a storied Revolutionary Guards leader, Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani.

for what news accounts in Iran called his “involvement in provoking suspicious acts” at a protest.

据伊朗的新闻报道，扣押原因在于他在抗议活动中“参与了挑起可疑行为的活动”。

Britain’s foreign secretary, Dominic Raab, denounced the seizure¹³ as a “flagrant violation¹⁴ of international law.”

and conservatives who had until Friday boasted about war with the United States
