Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Slams U.S. Sanctions as New Indirect Talks Loom

In a recent statement, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei criticized the new U.S. sanctions, emphasizing how they undermine diplomatic efforts between Iran and the United States. These sanctions, announced just before the fifth round of indirect talks, raise questions about Washington’s commitment to diplomacy.

Baqaei expressed his concerns through a post on his X account, stating:

“Marco Rubio’s State Department hit a new low in American long history of unlawful coercive & hostile measures against the Iranian nation by further expanding their unlawful sanctions to construction sector and home building. That’s as outrageous as it is unlawful and inhuman,”

The spokesperson elaborated on the implications of these sanctions, highlighting several key points:

  • Human Rights Violations: The U.S. sanctions are designed to deprive Iranians of their basic human rights, which Baqaei termed as crimes against humanity.
  • Impact on Development: He argued that these measures reinforce the Iranian public’s belief that U.S. decision-makers aim to hinder the nation’s progress.
  • Questioning Diplomacy: The timing of the sanctions, coinciding with the fifth round of talks, casts doubt on America’s seriousness in pursuing diplomatic solutions.

Baqaei concluded his remarks by affirming the resilience of the Iranian people:

“Our nation is resolved to remain steadfast & strong in the face of such absurd animosity,”

These developments signify a critical moment in the ongoing dialogue between Iran and the U.S., with potential implications for regional stability and international relations.
