Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi said Iran has never been afraid of U.S. sanctions and argued that previous American moves against the country, including blockades and military action, had failed. He said the latest tactic would fail as well. According to the remarks cited by Odaily via China Central Television, Araghchi described Trump’s claimed “economic action” as part of a long-running pattern in U.S. policy rather than a new approach. He compared it to a repetitive film that Iran has seen many times before, adding that Tehran knows how to respond. Araghchi also said that whether the United States turns to military action or revives older methods, it shows Washington has run out of options. In his view, the U.S. keeps repeating the same plan when dealing with the Iranian people. He added that the only workable path is respectful dialogue with the Iranian people and a solution based on justice and honor, saying there is no alternative beyond that.

Odaily reported, citing China Central Television, that Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi said Iran has never been afraid of U.S. sanctions and that every move previously taken by the United States against Iran, whether blockades or military action, had failed. He added that this new tactic would fail as well.

Araghchi said Trump’s claimed “economic action” was not a new idea but a familiar bullying method in long-standing U.S. policy. “In a sense, this is like a repetitive movie we have watched countless times, and we know how to deal with it,” he said.

He also said that whether Washington resorts to military action or returns to older tactics, it shows the United States has run out of options. Facing the Iranian people, he said, the U.S. has no choice but to keep repeating the same plan. Araghchi added that the United States should understand there is no path other than respectful dialogue with the Iranian people and seeking a solution based on justice and honor.
