Iran’s Foreign Minister delivered a sharp response to reports alleging Tehran planned attacks against US forces, dismissing the claims as fabricated and asserting that ordinary Americans are paying the price for what he described as Israeli-driven military escalation.
Late Tuesday night, Abbas Araghchi, Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran, published a message from his official account on the platform X addressing reports that Iran was preparing to attack US forces.
Araghchi rejected the claims, describing them as what he called a “sheer and utter lie.” In his message, he stated:
“The claim that Iran was planning on attacking the U.S. or U.S. Forces, whether preventively or preemptively, is a sheer and utter lie. The sole purpose of that lie is to justify Operation Epic Mistake, a misadventure engineered by Israel and paid for by ordinary Americans.”
In another post on X, the Iranian foreign minister accused US officials of spreading misleading information, saying it was intended to influence financial markets.
