Iranian Foreign Minister: US Economic Pressure Campaign Against Iran Is "Doomed to Fail"

Odaily News: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated on social media that the sanctions and pressure policies adopted by successive US administrations against Iran have all ended in failure, and the latest US economic pressure campaign against Iran is likewise "doomed to fail." In his post, Araghchi reviewed a series of policies the US has implemented against Iran in recent years. He noted that 14 years ago, the US claimed to impose the "harshest sanctions in history" on Iran; 8 years ago, it enforced "maximum pressure"; and 5 months ago, it demanded Iran's "unconditional surrender" — all of these policies ultimately failed.

In response to US President Donald Trump's recent announcement of what he called "the most destructive economic action against a country in history" targeting Iran, Araghchi stated that this action is also "doomed to fail." He also criticized that there has been no substantive change in the policies of successive US administrations toward Iran. Araghchi said: "We have seen this playbook before — the same lies, just a different set of bullies." (CCTV News)
