Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei on Wednesday accused the United States of committing war crimes and acts of state terrorism through the assassination of Iranian officials and scientists during joint military operations with ‘Israel’.
In a post on X, Baqaei stated that the US, “in its joint aggression against Iran alongside the Israeli regime,” carried out these actions and is now pursuing a “coordinated disinformation campaign built around fabricated headlines of ‘Iranian terrorism’” to portray itself as the victim.
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. 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'. 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 argued that Washington expects the world to overlook its own record while accepting “unsubstantiated claims of a ‘terror plot.’”
The post included a Simpsons meme featuring Principal Skinner saying, “Am I out of touch? No, it’s the children who are wrong.”
The statement followed the US Department of Justice’s announcement on Tuesday of an indictment against three alleged Iranian-backed operatives.
Prosecutors charged Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi, Mohsen Mohajeri, and Mohammad Ali al-Hassani with roles in nearly 20 attacks and attempted attacks across Europe and the United States on behalf of groups including Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Kata’ib Hizballah.
The cases include incidents targeting Jewish communities and a September 2026 plot against RAF Fairford, a British air base that housed US military aircraft and personnel.
The accusations of assassinations refer to the US-‘Israeli’ joint strikes on Iran that began on February 28. Those operations killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and numerous senior Iranian political, military, and scientific figures.
