Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei has sharply criticized comments by former US House speaker Nancy Pelosi calling for intensified economic pressure on Iran.
In remarks posted on X on Saturday, Baghaei wrote, “Nancy Pelosi calls on the US administration to ‘cripple’ Iran’s economy so ordinary Iranians—even in rural areas—‘feel the pain.’”
“Deliberately inflicting pain & suffering on civilians for political leverage is the textbook definition of terrorism,” he added, noting, “Only an evil & arrogant mindset can feel entitled to prescribe policies built on civilians’ suffering in another country.”
“Legally speaking, this is further evidence of a deliberate & systematic US policy of exacting pain and cruelty on populations it disfavors. Such conduct amounts to ‘crime against humanity.’”
Funny how bipartisanship is all of a sudden a thing when the empire needs to feed the war & suffering machine. But when it comes to providing healthcare, housing, basic needs like food and utilities, or civil rights protections to the people, they just can’t seem to come to an agreement.
Well, I guess the dems do seem to always supply a few of their own to stand with republicans on those topics, which is just a more subtle form of bipartisanship if you think about it.
Free Iran from Western terrorism
We need to exact pain on these old hags in congress
Fucking pelosi
She’s still got that AIPAC money flowing in I see
Why is she still talking?

Same libs who keeps doing “vote blue no matter who” that’s also literally setting homeless people on fire and hose them with water in freezing weather.
