Iran's Foreign Ministry has made a strong rejection of recent claims made by U.S. officials regarding its missile program, labeling them as 'big lies'. The spokesman for the ministry, Esmaeil Baqaei, responded directly to statements made by President Donald Trump, who asserted that Iran was developing missiles capable of hitting the United States. Baqaei emphasized that these assertions are simply a repetition of erroneous claims and did not clarify which specific allegations he was addressing. This rhetoric reflects ongoing tensions between Tehran and Washington, especially concerning Iran's military capabilities.

In a February interview with Al Jazeera, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi mentioned that while Iran does not have the capability to target the U.S. directly, it would take action against American military bases in the region should the U.S. launch an attack. This stance underlines Iran's defensive posture and indicates its readiness to respond to perceived threats from the U.S. Furthermore, during his recent State of the Union speech, Trump reiterated his administration's commitment to preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, highlighting the current state of high tension and distrust in U.S.-Iran relations.

The exchange of statements between Iran and the U.S. reflects broader geopolitical tensions, with both nations taking hard-line positions to maintain their respective stances. These developments have significant implications for regional security, as Iran's missile capabilities and its nuclear program remain critical issues for both the U.S. and its allies in the Middle East. As accusations and counter-accusations continue, the possibility of diplomatic engagement seems increasingly remote, making it essential to monitor future developments closely.
