Iran’s Araghchi: US delusions behind failed American policies

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said that Washington’s unrealistic assumptions and delusions are among the factors behind the failure of American policies.

In a post on his account on the X platform, Araghchi referred to remarks made eight years ago by former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who said that Iranians should follow White House orders if they wanted to have food to eat.

The Iranian foreign minister also noted that Marco Rubio, described in the source as the US Secretary of State, whose fellow Cuban Americans were once victims of similar policies, is now repeating the same rhetoric.

In another context, Araghchi mentioned the United Nations in relation to the US announcement of a financial reward for information related to Iran’s nuclear program, describing the move as a new escalation by Washington and raising questions about US intentions toward Tehran.

Earlier this week, the US State Department, through its “Rewards for Justice” program, announced a reward of up to $20 million for information about Iran’s nuclear program, including facilities, equipment, and individuals involved, such as scientists and nuclear workers, with the possibility of relocation for informants.
