Iran's foreign minister dismisses upcoming new US sanctions as "same movie"
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has criticized new US sanctions expected to be announced on Monday, comparing them to a rerun. He said this kind of pressure from Washington is nothing new for Tehran.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has responded dismissively to new sanctions the United States is expected to unveil on Monday, describing the move as a repeat of a familiar pattern. He likened the situation to watching the same film play out again.
His comments suggest that Iran does not view the upcoming sanctions as something fundamentally new, but rather as a continuation of long-standing US pressure on Tehran. The exact content and targets of the new measures were not yet known at the time of his remarks.
The United States has repeatedly expanded restrictions on Iran in recent years, including measures tied to the country's nuclear program and its regional influence. Iran, for its part, has consistently maintained that sanctions have not changed its position and that it will continue on its current course regardless of outside pressure.
An official announcement of the sanctions from Washington had not yet been published, and relations between the two countries remain tense.
