The Iranian Foreign Ministry calls U.S. policy towards Iran a "farce"

On the 26th, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghaei stated that the U.S. policy towards Iran is a "complete farce." Baghaei said that the U.S. is seeking help from Bahrain to prove that its so-called "alliance" is functioning, but there is almost no substantial economic exchange between Bahrain and Iran. At the same time, the U.S. announced a "halt" to sports and academic exchanges with Iran, which had already been largely stagnant. Baghaei criticized that the U.S. is imposing additional sanctions on an already sanctioned target and packaging an "empty shell" as an "alliance."

On the 26th, Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif sent a letter to the United Nations condemning the U.S. economic pressure on Iran as "economic terrorism," which violates the United Nations Charter.

Iranian people: Sanctions are nothing new, we will never yield

In the face of a new round of U.S. sanctions, many Iranian citizens expressed that although the sanctions have brought impacts, the will of the Iranian people is resilient, and they will never yield.

Iranian citizens: For a long time, we have suffered from extremely harsh sanctions, which is no longer a new thing. Life is certainly difficult, but we will definitely endure.

Iranian citizen Mahdi Yazdian: Yes, these sanctions have had an impact, but there is no doubt that our people are resilient and strong. Sanctions have been imposed on us for 47 years.

Iranian citizen Qasim Shuja: We are not unfamiliar with sanctions, nor will we be intimidated by exaggerated statements from the U.S. Ultimately, their actions are purposeful, but sanctions cannot be 100% effective.

Iranian political analyst Omid Hazani: Indeed, the Iranian economy is suffering, inflation is high, and the cost of living is rising. However, from the perspective of Iranian officials, this is a war concerning the survival of the nation. In the face of a survival crisis, economic costs can only be secondary. This does not mean that Iran has no corresponding countermeasures; it is just that economic issues are not the primary consideration.
