The Iranian Foreign Ministry responded strongly to accusations made by U.S. President Donald Trump during his State of the Union address, where he claimed that Iran was seeking to develop nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles aimed at the United States. The Iranian spokesperson, Esmail Baghaei, condemned Trump’s statements as 'big lies' and suggested they were part of a larger disinformation campaign against Iran, likening Trump's rhetoric to that of notorious Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels.

Baghaei specifically called out the U.S. administration for what he described as a 'sinister campaign of misinformation,' asserting that the accusations against Iran's nuclear program and missile capabilities were unfounded. He rejected Trump's claims regarding Iranian aggression and the death toll related to protests in January, framing them as repeated distortions of reality. This interaction highlights the ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Iran, particularly in the context of nuclear non-proliferation and military strategy.

The continued exchange of accusations underscores the fractured relationship between the two nations and raises concerns about the implications for regional security and diplomatic efforts. As both countries maintain fundamentally opposing narratives about their positions and actions, the potential for further conflict remains high, particularly with Trump's administration pushing for strict sanctions and defensive measures against Iran.
