Rose McGowan defends tweet apologizing to Iran after strike

McGowan acknowledged her tweet might seem unusual.

NEW YORK — Actress Rose McGowan says her tweet that apologized on behalf of the U.S. to Iran for “disrespecting their flag and people” wasn't anti-American.

Her tweet Friday came after a U.S. airstrike killed Iran's top general and has been widely criticized.

In an exclusive interview with The Associated Press, McGowan acknowledged her tweet might seem unusual. She added that she doesn't believe the governments of either Iran or the U.S.
