Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi criticized United States policy and statements made by senior US officials regarding Iran.

In a statement shared on his social media account, Araghchi recalled remarks previously made by Mike Pompeo about the Iranian people, saying that similar rhetoric is now being repeated by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Araghchi stated in his post:

"Eight years ago, a cartoon character like Pompeo said that Iranians had to comply with the White House's dictates 'if they wanted to eat.' Today, Rubio, whose Cuban compatriots are victims of the same policy, is repeating this nonsense. Aside from being inhumane, these delusions are precisely what produce failed US policies."
