Esmaeil Baghaei strongly condemned the unjust US sanctions on Iran’s energy sector after a defense operation against Israeli military targets. The US Treasury Department imposed sanctions on companies trading Iranian oil in response to Iran’s missile attack on Israeli sites, which Baghaei defended as legitimate self-defense. He criticized the US for its role in destabilizing West Asia by supporting Israel in its aggressions, calling the sanctions a ransom to the rogue regime. Baghaei held the US accountable for encouraging Israeli atrocities and endangering regional peace. He reaffirmed Iran’s right to respond and its determination to defend its sovereignty and citizens. The US regime’s pressure tactics would not deter Iran from protecting its interests against foreign aggression.
