WANA (Dec 31) – Esmaeil Baghaei, spokesman for Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, criticized what he described as the repeated false claims made by the Israeli prime minister regarding Iran’s nuclear program, in a post on the social media platform X.
Referring to a video released by the U.S. television network CNN that compiles the Israeli prime minister’s statements since 1996, Baghaei wrote: “This is ‘mythomania’:

He added that Iran may have been deterred by warnings from former U.S. President Donald Trump, as well as by the consequences of past actions less than a year ago.
Iran has repeatedly rejected such allegations, stressing that the peaceful use of nuclear energy is its legal right under international law. Iranian officials have also emphasized that the country’s defensive capabilities are non-negotiable and not subject to talks.
