Iran slams new U.S. sanctions on energy sector

The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman has strongly condemned the new U.S. sanctions on Iran's energy sector.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman has strongly condemned the new U.S. sanctions on Iran's energy sector, which were imposed under the pretext of the Islamic Republic of Iran's Armed Forces' defensive reactions against the Zionist regime's military targets, saying the move was illegal and unjustified.

Esmaeil Baghaei stated that Iran's missile operations against the Zionist regime were lawful and in accordance with international law, exercising the inherent right to self-defense.

He criticized the U.S. for imposing sanctions on several companies and ships allegedly involved in transporting Iranian oil products, calling it a form of 'payoff' to the rogue Israeli regime.

The spokesperson highlighted the United States' destructive and negative role in the security and stability of West Asia.

He noted, "The U.S., as the main political supporter and primary supplier of weapons used by Israel in the genocide in Gaza and the aggression against Lebanon, is complicit in the most severe international crimes committed by Israel. "

"Imposing sanctions on Iran under the pretext of supporting Israel not only creates international responsibility for the U.S. government but also emboldens the occupying regime to continue its slaughter of innocents, threatening regional and global peace and security," the spokesperson added.

Baghaei emphasized Iran's right to respond appropriately to U.S. sanctions, stating, "The U.S. regime's addiction to the policy of maximum pressure and threats against the Iranian nation will not affect the Islamic Republic of Iran's determination to defend its sovereignty, territorial integrity, national interests, and citizens against any aggressive actions and foreign intrusions."
