IRGC-Linked Website Calls Reports Of US Terror Warning To Iran 'A Lie'

Saturday, 01/27/2024

Fars news agency, affiliated with the IRGC, dismissed reports claiming Washington warned Tehran prior to recent bombings by ISIS in Iran.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday that the US had warned the Islamic Republic of the impending bombings which claimed the lives of 95 people in Kerman earlier this month.

There are “compelling reasons” which demonstrate that such claims, made by the Wall Street Journal and repeated by American and British media, counter “the facts on the ground,” Fars wrote on Saturday.

On Friday, IRNA, the Iranian state news agency, also rejected the reports of Washington’s terror warning to Tehran.

Even the White House officials, including Deputy US State Department Spokesperson Vedant Patel, have refused to confirm the Wall Street Journal’s report, Fars added.

The Fars website further reiterated the usual rhetoric of the Islamic Republic, accusing the US of establishing ISIS and supporting “terrorist and subversive groups” in Iran.

Islamic State’s affiliate in Afghanistan, ISIS-Khorasan, known as ISIS-K, committed the attacks at the commemoration ceremony of slain Qods Force commander Qassem Soleimani.

Separately, Iran International has learned that the US passed the warning to Iran more than one week before the attack.
