Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bagae said in a social media post on the 10th that US Treasury Secretary Bezent advocated “stifling” Iran through economic sanctions, highlighting America's “pathological dependence” on sanctions. Bagae said that every time the US is unable to push for diplomatic mediation, it resorts to sanctions, and if the sanctions do not work, the sanctions will be further strengthened. “This is no longer just a 'policy'; it has formed a 'habit'. The sanctions have become an 'addiction' and the US side has lost its own thinking.” Bagae also said that Iran will not be bound by these remarks. If the US side continues to indulge in this “vice,” it will kill its chances of getting out of this crisis created by itself.
