Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araji responded in a post on X to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, "In the end you have to eat," in which he refers to Iranians under sanctions.
Argachi drew comparisons to comments made by former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo eight years ago, when he said Iranians must obey the White House's dictates "if they want to eat. ".
"Eight years ago, a cartoon character like Pompeo said that Iranians must follow the dictates of the White House 'if they want to eat.' Today, Rubio - whose fellow Cubans are victims of the same policy - repeats this travesty," Arjeci wrote.
"Forget about inhumanity. The delusions are the ones that produce failed US policies," he added.
