Iran’s foreign ministry calls US economic plan to isolate Tehran 'pure parody'

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei publicly dismissed recent United States economic efforts aimed at isolating Tehran, labeling the policy as a "pure parody." The remarks were issued via a post on the social media platform X in response to ongoing American diplomatic and economic strategies regarding the Islamic Republic.

Baqaei specifically criticized Washington’s outreach to regional partners, including Bahrain, as part of its broader containment strategy. The statement reflects Tehran's ongoing rejection of U.S.-led economic pressure and its characterization of these international diplomatic maneuvers as ineffective or performative.
