Iran (IMNA) – In a post on his X account late Saturday, Baghaei said US officials had introduced a new narrative to escape responsibility for the devastating human, economic, and geopolitical consequences of their aggression against Iran.
“American officials have now come up with a new deceptive narrative to evade responsibility for the catastrophic human, economic, and geopolitical consequences of their unlawful aggression against Iran: ‘America did not start the war with Iran; the Iranians started it with the 1979 Revolution!’” he wrote.
Baghaei dismissed the claim as an obvious fabrication, stressing that the 1979 Islamic Revolution was aimed at restoring Iran's sovereignty, freedom, and human dignity.
He also pointed to the historical memory of American interference in Iran, particularly the 1953 CIA-backed coup, saying that its consequences remained fresh in the minds of Iranians at the time and continue to do so today.
Emphasizing that military aggression has a clear definition, the spokesman said American officials could not erase the fact that the United States had launched unprovoked aggression against Iran twice in less than nine months, while diplomatic negotiations were underway.
He further accused Washington of assassinating Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and senior Iranian officials, killing and injuring Iranian women and children, and destroying vital infrastructure.
Baghaei argued that, having reached a military and political dead end, the US administration was now seeking both to deny responsibility for initiating the war and to portray the outcome as a victory in order to conceal its failure to achieve its objectives.
He added that, despite Washington's efforts to promote this narrative, senior figures within the American political establishment had acknowledged that the war against Iran was the principal cause of the administration's electoral defeat.
