islamic republic of iran has rejected accusations that it is seeking atomic weapons, denouncing US chairwoman Donald ruff’s in vogue(p) remarks as false and misleading.
Trump has repeatedly demanded that Tehran dismantle its nuclear program and curb its ballistic missile capabilities. In his State of the Union address on Tuesday, he claimed Iran was again pursuing “sinister ambitions” and warned that he would “never allow” it to obtain an atomic weapon.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei responded on Wednesday in a post on X, accusing the US administration and the “war profiteers encircling it, particularly the genocidal Israeli regime,” of using propaganda tactics against Iran.
“Professional liars are good at creating the ‘illusion of truth’,” Baqaei wrote, quoting Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels’ maxim that “repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth.”
Professional liars are good at creating the 'illusion of truth.'"Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth”, is a law of propaganda coined by Nazi Joseph Goebbels. This is now systematically used by the U.S. Administration and the war profiteers encircling it,…
He added that claims made about Iran’s ballistic missiles are “simply the repetition of ‘big lies’.”
In his address, Trump said Iran “has already developed missiles that can threaten Europe and our bases overseas” and is “working” to build missiles that will soon reach the US.
Both sides are preparing for a third round of indirect, Oman-mediated talks in Geneva on Thursday, where Tehran is reportedly expected to present a draft agreement.
Last week, Trump set a 15-day deadline for Iran to agree to a deal, warning failure could trigger military action. Washington has also dispatched two carrier strike groups and additional bombers to the Middle East in recent weeks. The US struck Iran’s nuclear sites during the 12-day Israel-Iran air war in June 2025.
According to multiple media reports, the US military has also moved more than 150 aircraft to bases in Europe and the Middle East since the second round of talks ended without a breakthrough.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has insisted that Tehran’s nuclear program is peaceful and that zero enrichment is unacceptable, stating Iran is ready for military confrontation if diplomacy fails and would target US bases if attacked.
Moscow has warned that the standoff is “potentially explosive” and that strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites could cause a nuclear disaster, urging all sides to seek a peaceful settlement.
