The United States has spoken of its deep sadness over the death of a young Iranian girl, Armita Garawand, who had been in a coma after a controversial incident on Tehran's metro.

I am deeply saddened to learn that Amita Geravand has died after being beaten by Iran's morality police for not wearing a hijab in public," US National Security advisor, Jake Sullivan, said on X. Iran's state-sponsored violence against its own people is appalling and underscores the fragility of the regime."
