The Iranian Foreign Ministry condemns the meddlesome and deceptive remarks of the US officials regarding Iran’s internal developments, describing them as a clear indication of the continuation of Washington’s hostility toward the great nation of Iran. Such stances are adopted not out of concern for the Iranian people, but in line with the policy of maximum pressure, threats, and interference in Iran’s internal affairs, with the aim of inciting violence and terrorism and creating unrest and insecurity in Iran. In accordance with the principles enshrined in Iran’s Constitution, the Islamic Republic recognizes peaceful protests and spares no effort to address the legitimate demands of the people within the framework of the law. In this regard, the Foreign Ministry stresses the importance of adopting the necessary measures to reduce economic difficulties and underscores that a large part of these problems stems from the all-out economic and financial war waged by the US against the Iranian nation through illegal and unjust sanctions. The Foreign Ministry also stresses the need for the international community to pay serious attention to the illegal and inhumane nature of the US’s unilateral coercive measures and economic sanctions against the Iranian nation, and underscores that these sanctions directly target the human rights, livelihoods, and daily lives of Iranians and constitute a clear instance of a crime against humanity.
