The US Wants to Push the Whole World Back”: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi’s Sharp Statement

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi launched a strong attack on the United States, saying that Washington wants to take the world back to an era when petrol and gas were not extracted from the ground. His remark is being seen as significant in the context of the current global energy crisis, Western sanctions, and rising tensions in the Middle East.
Araghchi’s statement came at a time when tensions between Iran and the United States continue to rise. The Iranian foreign minister alleged that the US is trying to impose its policy not only on Iran, but on the entire world. According to him, Washington’s approach is affecting energy resources, oil trade, and international policy, increasing pressure on developing countries.
He also indicated that US policies are destabilizing the global energy market. Araghchi said that while the world is moving ahead in a new era of technology, energy, and development, the US is adopting a mindset that pushes countries backward. He argued that every nation should have the right to decide its own energy resources and trade policy independently.
The Iranian foreign minister also appealed to the international community to seriously examine US policies, saying their impact is not limited to Iran alone but could also affect the economies of Asia, Europe, and other regions. He said that a policy of pressure and sanctions is not a solution, but instead only increases tension.
Experts believe that Araghchi’s statement could further intensify the already strained Iran-US relationship. The remark has also come at a time when West Asia is already struggling with political and military instability.
