Islamabad, (Parliament Times) : 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.
