Iran accuses US of spreading disinformation about Iranian terrorism

Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Esmaeil Baghaei, accused the United States on Wednesday of orchestrating a "coordinated disinformation campaign" aimed at portraying itself as a victim of terrorism. Baghaei made the allegations in a post on X, stating that Washington had committed acts of state terrorism by assassinating Iranian leaders, while simultaneously expecting the world to disregard its own history of aggression and terrorism, and to accept unverified claims of a "terror plot."

Despite the media frenzy surrounding the claims, Baghaei emphasized that it cannot alter history, absolve itself of responsibility, or conceal the identities of those ultimately accountable for aggression, terrorism, and war crimes. In its joint aggression against Iran alongside the Israeli regime, he claimed, the United States not only committed abhorrent war crimes but also grave acts of state terrorism through the assassination of Iranian officials and scientists.

Through this coordinated disinformation campaign, fueled by fabricated headlines of "Iranian terrorism," Baghaei argued that Washington seeks to cast itself as the victim. He further accused the US of expecting the world to overlook its own extensive history of aggression and terrorism, as well as to accept unsubstantiated claims of a "terror plot."

However, Baghaei stressed that no amount of media frenzy can change the past, absolve the US of its wrongdoings, or hide the true perpetrators of aggression, terrorism, and war crimes.
