Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei responded to President Trump's claims that Iran attempted to assassinate him, calling the accusation a 'psychological game' and part of a propaganda war. Baghaei accused the U.S. of murdering Iranian citizens and leaders and denied the victimhood narrative, according to a statement reported by Israeli media.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei on Monday rejected President Trump's allegations that Iran was behind an assassination attempt against him, framing the accusation as a 'clear psychological game' and part of a propaganda war, according to a statement reported by Israeli media. Baghaei accused the U.S. of murdering Iranian citizens and leaders, arguing that Washington is trying to portray itself as a victim. The response follows a similar statement from Baghaei on Sunday, in which he denied that the current events constitute a military confrontation, as The Zioneer reported. Earlier this month, Iran circulated a propaganda video portraying Trump as terrified of assassination, which The Zioneer covered on July 10. The exchanges underscore the escalating verbal confrontation between the two countries, with Iran continuing to challenge U.S. accusations while the Trump administration has not yet issued a formal response to the latest statement.
