Iran says White House accusations mirror actions the United States started or supported
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson says White House accusations against Iran mirror actions the U.S. started or supported, calling the framing deceptive and citing a biblical proverb.
Tehran – IRNA reports that Ismail Bagha'i, spokesperson for Iran's Foreign Ministry, responded to comments by the White House press secretary by saying the United States describes the same actions that it itself began, committed, or supported. Bagha'i added that this deflection from reality is not surprising, and invoked the proverb “The wicked flee when no one pursues” (Proverbs 28:1) in a post on X. The remarks appear in the IRNA coverage of Tehran's Foreign Ministry response.
