KABUL: Following a new warning by the U.S. Treasury Department to international banks about the consequences of cooperating with Tehran, Iran\u2019s Foreign Minister Dr. Sayed Abbas Araghchi said that additional economic pressure is unlikely to lead to Iran\u2019s surrender.
He made the remarks on Wednesday night in a post on X, saying Iran\u2019s refusal to yield in the face of economic pressure stems from years of experience with Washington\u2019s \u201csilent\u201d economic war against Tehran.
He stressed that the way out of the standoff between Tehran and Washington is a diplomatic solution\u2014one that requires concessions from both sides so the two countries can reach an agreement at a middle point.
The foreign minister wrote: \u201c Iran has, for years, been subjected to a silent economic war by the United States that has seriously harmed the Iranian people, without producing any policy change from the Iranian government. Therefore, he said, \u201cMore economic pressure is unlikely to result in surrender.\u201d
Separately, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the speaker of Iran\u2019s parliament, reacted early today to the recent remarks by the U.S. Treasury minister on X, calling the view as harmful to the United States itself.
Ghalibaf wrote that it is the kind of \u201cworthless\u201d advice the U.S. administration receives from figures like Bessent, who continue to push the idea of a blockade and have helped drive oil prices to $120 and above. He added: \u201cThe next step is 140. The problem isn\u2019t the theory\u2014it\u2019s the mindset.\u201d
Recently, Scott Bessent, the U.S. Treasury Secretary, said in a warning that international banks would face Washington\u2019s sanctions if they cooperate with Iran in the oil sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
