The Iranian mission to the United Nations Office in Vienna has dismissed recurrent claims by the United States and the Israeli regime that Iran has been seeking a nuclear weapon, saying that repeating the “Big Lie” will never change the realities on the ground.
“The Nazi propaganda technique of the ‘Big Lie’ – repeat a lie often enough, and it becomes the truth – does not work in the modern age,” said the mission in a post on its X account on Tuesday.
The post came in response to recent remarks by US President Donald Trump, who claimed that Iran is still seeking a nuclear weapon after a joint US-Israeli aggression that stopped earlier this month with a Pakistani-mediated ceasefire.
The claims were made after Iran refused to totally abandon its peaceful nuclear program during negotiations with the United States in Islamabad that were aimed at permanently ending the aggression on Iran.
Iran’s UN mission in Vienna said that both the UN and its nuclear agency have confirmed the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program.
“There exists no evidence for diversion of nuclear materials by Iran in the Agency reports. On the contrary, there are many reports that all nuclear materials are accounted for,” it said.
It said that Trump’s recent assertions even contradict the US intelligence community’s assessment about Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
The mission said that the “Big Lie” about Iran’s race toward a nuclear weapon has been repeated by Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu for more than 34 years.
“(It) has not changed the reality that Iran never opted for a nuclear weapon but insisted on its inalienable rights for peaceful uses of nuclear energy,” it said.
