"Gros mensonges" : L'Iran rejette les accusations de Trump sur son programme de missiles
Iran on Wednesday rejected what it called "big lies" from the US about its weaponry, after US President Donald Trump claimed that Tehran was developing missiles capable of striking the United States.
"All they are saying about Iran's nuclear program, Iran's ballistic missiles and the number of casualties during the January unrest is nothing but a repetition of big lies," Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghai said on X.
Mr. Baghai did not specify exactly which statements he was responding to, but a few hours earlier, Mr. Trump had stated during his policy speech to Congress that Iran was working to acquire missiles capable of reaching American soil.
In an interview with the Qatari channel Al Jazeera in February, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Tehran did not have the capacity to strike the United States, but that it would attack American bases in the Middle East if Washington carried out strikes against his country.
Donald Trump also reaffirmed that Tehran would never be allowed to manufacture nuclear weapons, accusing Iranian leaders of continuing "at present their sinister ambitions" in this area.
Iran has repeatedly stated that it is not seeking to acquire nuclear weapons, but insists on its right to use nuclear technology for civilian purposes.
The US president also claimed that Iranian authorities had killed 32,000 people in the crackdown on an unprecedented wave of protests that culminated on January 8 and 9.
Iranian officials acknowledge more than 3,000 deaths in these demonstrations, but blame the violence on "terrorist acts" orchestrated by the United States and Israel.
The US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) has recorded more than 7,000 deaths, specifying that the real toll is probably much higher.
