Email Bakai, the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran, wrote on the social network X on Saturday, November 23, that the US Secretary of State said that "at last they must eat" and with this statement he threatened "clearly and brazenly" to starve the Iranians through the blockade.
On Tuesday, November 19, after the meeting of the group of seven foreign ministers in Paris, Marco Rubio said about the economic pressure and the blockade on Iran: "Finally, you have to eat." He added that they should finally be able to pay the salaries of their military and security forces.
The spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran saw these words as "another admission" of war crimes committed by Washington and said that these threats are added to the crimes that the US has already committed in "wars of aggression" and "economic terrorism" against Iran.
Referring to decades of American efforts to put pressure on Iran through threats, sanctions, terrorism and military aggression, he wrote that Washington continues to repeat the same mistakes and "only presents them with new names."
