Iran: US Secretary of State threatens to starve Iranian people through blockade

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Ismail Bekayi reacted to Rubio's statements in his post on his account on the US-based X platform.

"The US Secretary of State is brazenly threatening to starve the Iranian people through a blockade," US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said. Criticizing him with his statements, Bekayi noted that the USA admitted that it intends to continue committing war crimes.

Bekayi stated that despite the "threat, sanctions, terror and aggression" policies that the USA has been pursuing against Iran for many years, it has failed and continues to make the same mistakes.

"I think Iran would love to make a deal. The problem is that the terms they keep putting forward are ridiculous. They're not even serious right now. But that could change. Ultimately, you have to eat," Rubio said. He used the following expressions.
