Iran claims Israeli ‘propaganda’ on nuclear facility attack
In today's Iran media review, Tehran claims that speculation regarding Israeli attacks are "propaganda."
Iranian armed forces spokesman Brig. Gen. Abolfazl Shekarchi said July 16 that the Israeli media is exaggerating attacks on Iranians inside Syria, adding that Iran will not remain silent on reported Israeli attacks.
Shekarchi said, “We warn the lying Zionists that with continued mischief you will see the upper hand of the resistance and the Islamic Republic of Iran in action.”
Israel has not publicly taken credit for any of the bombings inside Syria, though many analysts and experts believe Israel is responsible.
Israel has instead been silent about the attacks in what some see as a suggestion it is conducting the attacks. Shekarchi said claims that “hundreds or thousands” of Iranians died in the attacks are untrue and baseless claims by “Western Zionist media empire saber-rattling.”
