Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei has categorically rejected Washington’s claims that US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was relocated to a military base over alleged “threats” to his life linked to the Islamic Republic, describing the allegations as part of a coordinated disinformation campaign.

In a post on X on Thursday, Baqaei denounced Washington for attempting to portray itself as a “victim,” while concealing its own record of aggression against Iran.

“In its joint aggression against Iran alongside the Israeli regime, the United States committed not only abhorrent war crimes, but also grave acts of state terrorism through the cowardly assassination of Iranian officials and scientists,” he wrote.

“Now, through a coordinated disinformation campaign built around fabricated headlines of ‘Iranian terrorism,’ Washington seeks to cast itself as the victim! It expects the world to ignore its own long record of aggression and terrorism, and to accept unsubstantiated claims of a ‘terror plot,’” the official stated.

“However, no amount of media frenzy can rewrite history, erase responsibility, or conceal the identity of those truly responsible for aggression, terrorism, and war crimes,” he said.

The official was referring to the grave human losses resulting from unprovoked American-Israeli aggression against Iran, including the latest round of the aggression from February 28 until April 7 that claimed the lives of more than 3,000 people and wounded more than 32,000 others.
