Lukashenko calls US 'dictators' on rights

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has launched a verbal attack on the United States, labeling it a nation of 'dictators' that hypocritically lectures other countries on human rights and democracy. He argued that US policy remains unchanged regardless of who is president and cited specific actions, including alleged threats to Cuba and Venezuela and the war in the Middle East, as evidence. Lukashenko specifically pointed to the 'Minab tragedy,' claiming the US bombed a school there, killing nearly 200 children and teachers, and questioned how many have died due to US support for Israel's bombings. His remarks are a sharp escalation in rhetoric against Washington.
