WANA (Nov 07) – The spokesperson for Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs wrote that the U.S. president’s admission of involvement in the Israeli regime’s military attack against Iran exposes previous lies by American officials and entails international responsibility for the U.S. government.

 

Following the explicit confession by U.S. President Donald Trump acknowledging participation in the Israeli regime’s military aggression against Iran — a claim that contradicts earlier denials by American officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio — Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei wrote on the social media platform X:

 

“Do you remember the statement by the U.S. Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, on June 13, 2025, when he announced that Washington had no role in the Israeli aggression and terrorism against Iran, claiming that what happened was a “unilateral action” on the part of Israel, and affirming “that we are not involved in the strikes against Iran”?

 

This claim was, of course, nothing but a lie and misinformation; for it was clear from the very first moment that the United States was a full partner in the crime of the Israeli aggression against our dear, steadfast homeland.

 

And today, the U.S. President himself has come to expose the falsehood of that narrative, openly admitting direct responsibility when he said: “I was fully responsible for that,” thereby confirming the actual American involvement in the illegal Israeli aggression.

 

This admission constitutes irrefutable evidence of America’s direct involvement and active complicity in the unjustified Israeli aggression against Iran. It also represents an unambiguous acknowledgment of the United States’ responsibility for an unforgivable sin and a grave violation of international law. Accordingly, it is incumbent upon holding it accountable for this criminal act and the blatant violation of international law.”
