In a post on his X account, Baqaei wrote that Nancy Pelosi calls on the US administration to “cripple” Iran’s economy so ordinary Iranians-even in rural areas-“feel the pain.”
He pointed out that deliberately inflicting pain & suffering on civilians for political leverage is the textbook definition of terrorism.
Baqaei said that only an evil & arrogant mindset can feel entitled to prescribe policies built on civilians’ suffering in another country.
He further said that legally speaking, this is further evidence of a deliberate & systematic US policy of exacting pain and cruelty on populations it disfavors.
Baqaei stressed that such conduct amounts to a “crime against humanity.”
