Iran Labels US Maximum Pressure Policy as Violation of International Law and Crime Against Humanity
The spokesperson for Iran’s Foreign Ministry, Esmail Baghaei, condemned recent remarks by the U.S. Treasury Secretary regarding the continuation of the maximum pressure policy against Iran, describing them as a clear sign of Washington policymakers’ ongoing hostility toward the Iranian people and an explicit admission of "law-breaking and crimes against humanity."
Weezha Roz-Kabul-In response to the U.S. official’s stance, Baghaei highlighted the historical failure of America’s coercive policies against Iran over various periods, stressing Testing the tested is a mistake. U.S. politicians cannot achieve different results from past failures by repeating flawed methods.
He outlined Iran’s diplomatic approach on the international stage as rooted in logic, mutual respect, and efforts to secure the legitimate interests of the Iranian people adding Any rhetoric or behavior inconsistent with this principle is rejected by the Islamic Republic.
Referring to the United Nations Charter and international law, the Foreign Ministry spokesperson labeled the U.S. maximum pressure policy a blatant violation of these documents’ principles. He warned Such actions will incur international responsibility for the U.S. government.
The Iranian people, by strengthening domestic capacities across all sectors, will resist unlawful and inhumane pressures.
Baghaei concluded by noting History has proven that threats and sanctions have not only failed to impact the resolve of the Iranian people but have instead strengthened national unity and the country’s strategic advancements.
These remarks follow Washington’s announcement to maintain and intensify sanctions and economic pressure against Iran.
The Islamic Republic has consistently condemned the U.S. maximum pressure policy as anti-human rights, arguing it harms ordinary citizens, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.
