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.
What the US government is pursuing against Iran today is not merely an economic war; rather, it is a combination of psychological warfare, a media campaign to disseminate false information, threats of military intervention, and incitement to violence and terrorism, all of which stand in clear contradiction to the principles of the UN Charter, peremptory norms of international law, and the fundamental foundations of the international human rights system.
Recalling the long record of US hostility toward Iranians and interference in Iran’s internal affairs, from the planning and execution of the August 19, 1953 coup, to supporting the Iraqi Ba’athist regime during the eight-year imposed war, participation with the Zionist regime in the criminal attack of June 2025, and the imposition of illegal sanctions, the Islamic Republic of Iran underlines the grave responsibility of the UN and other international institutions to safeguard the fundamental principles of international law, particularly respect for the national sovereignty of states and the avoidance of destructive interference in the internal affairs of independent countries.
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.
The great nation of Iran, as it has repeatedly demonstrated throughout its turbulent history, will confront malicious foreign interventions with vigilance, reliance on its authentic Iranian-Islamic heritage, and the strengthening of national cohesion, and it will not allow the deceptive policies and hostile conduct of the US to undermine Iran’s sovereignty, independence, and dignity.
