“Nancy Pelosi calls on the U.S. administration to ‘cripple’ Iran\u2019s economy so ordinary Iranians\u2014even in rural areas\u2014’feel the pain.’ Deliberately inflicting pain & suffering on civilians for political leverage is the textbook definition of terrorism,” Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei wrote on X.<\/p>\n

“Only an evil & arrogant mindset can feel entitled to prescribe policies built on civilians’ suffering in another country,” Baghaei added.<\/p>\n

“Legally speaking, this is further evidence of a deliberate & systematic U.S. policy of exacting pain and cruelty on populations it disfavors. Such conduct amounts to ‘crime against humanity,'” he concluded.<\/p>\n
