Iran's Foreign Ministry condemned United States interference, stressing that the Iranian people will not allow "America’s deceptive policies and hostile behavior" to undermine Iran’s national sovereignty, independence, and dignity, IRNA reported.
The ministry said it "strongly condemns the interventionist and misleading remarks made by US officials concerning Iran's internal developments,'' describing them as ''a clear indication of the continued hostility of the US government toward the great Iranian nation."
It added that Washington's positions are "not motivated by any genuine concern for the Iranian people, but rather are pursued within the framework of the policy of maximum pressure, threats, and interference in Iran's internal affairs, with the aim of inciting violence and terrorism and creating unrest and insecurity in the country.''
The statement further pointed out that ''the Islamic Republic of Iran, in accordance with the principles enshrined in its Constitution, recognizes peaceful protests and spares no effort in addressing the legitimate demands of the people within the framework of the law.''
Highlighting the impact of economic sanctions, the ministry said, "a significant portion of these problems stems from the all-out economic and financial war waged by the United States against the Iranian people through illegal and unjust sanctions.''
The statement added that what the US government is currently pursuing against Iran goes beyond mere economic warfare. " It is a combination of psychological warfare, a media campaign to spread disinformation, threats of military intervention, and the incitement of violence and terrorism- actions stand in clear violation of the principles of the United Nations Charter, peremptory norms of international law, and the fundamental foundations of the international human rights system.''
