Translated paragraph context
Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi said on November 10 that the United States should have recognized earlier that it had not achieved, and could not achieve, any of its goals in the war against Iran. The war would end neither through military means nor through tougher sanctions. The only solution was diplomacy and fulfillment of the demands and conditions put forward by Iran. On the same day, U.S. Secretary of State Rubio said that U.S. economic sanctions and blockade measures had been “very effective,” making large-scale combat operations in Iran unnecessary.Original Chinese quote
