Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi delivered a strong message to Washington, highlighting the repeated failure of US hostile acts. He criticized the United States for pursuing strategies that have consistently backfired. According to Araqchi, US hostile acts have included sanctions, cyber operations, military threats, and support for terrorist activities. Yet, none of these efforts have achieved their intended goals. Araqchi wrote on X that Iranians continue to grieve the loss of loved ones while rebuilding what terrorists have destroyed. He warned that another looming threat is the potential collapse of diplomacy if the United States persists with aggressive strategies. He stressed that Tehran expects Washington to reconsider its approach and adopt respect in its dealings with Iran.
Furthermore, he suggested that any all-out confrontation would be messy and prolonged. He noted that the timelines some Israeli officials and US allies present are unrealistic and detached from reality. According to Araqchi, any military engagement would drag on far longer than those projections, causing widespread instability. He directly addressed US President Donald Trump, emphasizing that US hostile acts have failed repeatedly. The Iranian minister insisted that Washington should learn from its past mistakes and shift its policy toward constructive engagement. Araqchi underlined that the era of relying on threats, intimidation, or violence has ended.
He also highlighted that US hostile acts have consistently strengthened Iran’s resilience rather than weakening it. Economic sanctions, cyberattacks, and military pressure have all failed to achieve their intended outcomes. Instead, Iran has emerged more united internally, and its regional influence has persisted despite external pressure. Araqchi concluded by calling on the United States to abandon aggressive strategies and focus on respect.
He framed this approach as the only path toward lasting stability and mutual understanding. The Iranian government continues to emphasize dialogue, diplomacy, and regional cooperation as alternatives to confrontation. Iran’s stance sends a clear message: US hostile acts have not worked, and respect is the necessary path forward. This repeated warning comes amid heightened tensions and ongoing global attention to Iran’s foreign policy challenges.
