In a message posted on X, Araqchi contrasted the “fiction” that Iran is defenseless with facts about the impact of the conflict on US military assets.

“Fiction: Iran is defenseless. Fact: 100s of US military sites blown to pieces; dozens of aircraft scorched. (Source: The Pentagon),” he said.

“And that's just the tip of the iceberg. We'll reveal it all in due course,” Araqchi added.

“For those who've sold lies about Iran, it won't be pretty,” the foreign minister noted.
