Mohsen Farkhani, Assistant Professor at the University of Isfahan on Friday pointed towards conflicting claims from US President Donald Trump regarding Iran.
Farkhani, while speaking to ANI, said that there is no obliteration of Iran's Navy or anything as Trump claims. "You know, also Trump has said yesterday that Iranian Air Force is in ruins. But I don't know how is it possible that a ruined Air Force has last night hit another F-35 from the Lake and Heath squadron. You know, these are all the narratives that Trump is just trying to make as there is no obliteration of air defense or Navy of Iran in order to make an ambiguity as he is also offering ceasefire times and times," he said. Farkhani further said that Iran doesn't give in to the fake narrative. "But when he is talking about, things like we have obliterated the Navy. We have obliterated the air defense of Iran. He wants to create new narratives in order to make a kind of fake achievement for itself to jump out of the war. But Iran doesn't let it. We make Americans' narratives just undoable. You know, because they are not real. They are fake," he said. He then said that he believes Iranian officials have held no talks after the nuclear issue. "That's totally wrong. I believe that Iranian officials didn't have any kind of, you know, contacts with the American team, with Kushner, with Witkoff. All these contacts were for the time that we had negotiations on nuclear issue. But as the whole world has witnessed it, the Americans betrayed the negotiation table," he said. "And right now, not only the Iranian officials, but also Iranian people, we all find negotiation with America totally useless because this country, I mean, Americans are not actually committed to the negotiating table. Then we will not, I believe that we will not do any kind of negotiation with such officials with such politicians," he added. Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi on Friday asked if US President Donald Trump actually wanted to put Iran back in the Stone Age, as there was no oil being pumped in the Middle East back then. https://x.com/araghchi/status/2039781828547014863?s=20 In a post on X, he said, "There's one striking difference between the present and the Stone Age: there was no oil or gas being pumped in the Middle East back then. Are POTUS and Americans who put him in office sure that they want to turn back the clock?" (ANI)
