On October 11, 2022, he reportedly tried to cover up the Iranian regime's responsibility for Mahsa Amini's death by "alleging without providing evidence that U.S. sanctions affected Amini’s ability to get medicine for the chronic illnesses she faced. However, an Iranian government report Friday said that she was taking hydrocortisone and levothyroxine — two medicines made in Iran available in pharmacies in the country".2
