Security and Middle East analyst Yair Goldblatt posted on X a dismissive reaction to Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei's statement that Iran has not and will not attack any country in the region, and that its defensive strikes target only US facilities. Goldblatt's post included Baqaei's words followed by a sarcastic 'Yeah, sure…'
In a post on X Monday morning, security and Middle East analyst Yair Goldblatt reacted with apparent skepticism to Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei's statement that Iran has not and will not attack any country in the region, and that its defensive strikes are directed solely at US facilities. Goldblatt quoted Baqaei's words verbatim, then appended the sarcastic remark 'Yeah, sure…' (Hebrew: 'כן, בטח').
As The Zioneer reported earlier today at 11:25, Baqaei made the statement amid ongoing Iranian operations against what Iran describes as US bases. The analyst's post reflects a common view among security commentators that Iranian denials are not credible. The post has not been officially confirmed by Iranian authorities, and no further context from Goldblatt was provided.
