According to a report by Iran’s Tasnim news agency, Ismail Baghaei, spokesman for Iran’s Foreign Ministry, responding to remarks by the US secretary of state suggesting that the Iranians would ultimately have to eat, said the statement was an explicit and shameless threat to impose starvation on the Iranian people.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman added that such remarks constitute a fresh admission that the United States intends to commit war crimes, extending Washington’s crime-ridden record in its past wars of aggression and the ongoing economic terrorism it carries out against nations.
Baghaei also said that, after decades of pursuing a policy of threats, sanctions, terrorism and aggression, the United States remains stuck in place and continues repeating the same mistake without making any fundamental change. Instead, he said, it merely presents the same policy again under new slogans and titles.
