Spokesman: US Foreign Policy on Iran Suffers From Extreme 'Lie-Centricity'
Iranian Foreign Ministry's Spokesperson Esmail Baqaei quoted Fyodor Dostoevsky to describe the situation in which the United States system of governance and foreign policy regarding Tehran and West Asia finds itself, describing Washington’s foreign policy as excessively reliant on “lies".
Writing on X on Saturday, Baqaei cited a passage from Dostoevsky’s "The Brothers Karamazov" to characterize the consequences of such a policy.“This passage from Dostoevsky’s "The Brothers Karamazov" aptly describes the situation in which the US system of governance and foreign policy regarding Iran and the region finds itself due to its extreme reliance on 'lies',” he said.
US President Donald Trump has in recent days claimed that Washington "has total control over the Strait of Hormuz and will keep it". However, Iran's military announced that "the false claims of the United States that ships are passing through the Strait of Hormuz normally are nothing more than lies and fabrications".The waterway, one of the world’s most important energy transit routes, has remained largely closed for most of the past five months, since the United States and Israel waged a war against Iran.
Quoting Dostoevsky, Baqaei added, “The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to such a pass that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others.”
