“Iran is no threat to anybody in Iraq or elsewhere, and Iran is not preparing for any attacks anywhere,” the spokesperson for Iran's mission to the United Nations said.
Iran’s spokesperson for its diplomatic mission to the United Nations accused President Donald Trump and his administration of waging “propaganda warfare” and using “fake intelligence” to escalate tensions with the Persian Gulf nation.
“This is just the latest escalation in the propaganda warfare the U.S. waged against Iran, using ‘fake intelligence’ perhaps hoping to initiate a conflict,” Miryousefi said in an official statement, Iran’s Islamic Republic News Agency reported. “Iran is no threat to anybody in Iraq or elsewhere, and Iran is not preparing for any attacks anywhere.
Despite the warnings from the U.S., allies expressed skepticism about the threat posed by Iran. British Major General Chris Ghika, a senior officer in the U.S.-backed coalition fighting ISIS, said on Tuesday that he had seen “no increased threat from Iranian-backed forces in Iraq and Syria.”“We are living in a crucial, delicate moment where the most relevant and responsible attitude to take is that of maximum restraint and avoiding any escalation on a military side,” she said.
“Iran does not seek tension in the region, but Tehran will defend its rights powerfully,” Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif reiterated on Thursday during a trip to Japan, according to IRNA.
