Iran says US accuses it of actions Washington started or supported
Summary

Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman contends that the White House’s allegations describe actions the US itself started or supported, labeling the framing as misdirection and citing Proverbs 28:1 in a post on X dated 28 Shahrivar.

Tehran - IRNA - Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei, in response to White House spokesperson’s accusations against Iran, said that the White House description describes the same actions that the United States itself began, committed, or supported. In a post on X on Saturday, 28 Shahrivar, Baghaei argued that the accusations largely reflect what the US started or supported and called the framing a form of deflection from reality. He added: “Evil-doers flee, even when no one pursues them” (Proverbs 28:1).
