Iran’s envoy dismisses UK media hype about ‘Janfada’ campaign as baseless

Iran’s ambassador to the United Kingdom has dismissed a report by a British newspaper regarding the Janfada (Self-Sacrifice) campaign as baseless and stemming from misinterpretation.

Seyyed Ali Mousavi was reacting to an article published in the Daily Mail during his meeting on Tuesday with UK Deputy Foreign Minister Hamish Falconer after he was summoned by the UK Foreign Office.

The ambassador made it clear that the allegations raised in the report were “baseless” and stemmed from “misunderstanding and incorrect interpretation.”

The Daily Mail had attempted in a provocative report to link the campaign to security issues within the UK, using it as a pretext to create a negative political atmosphere against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Mousavi underscored that the Janfada campaign is an online initiative for Iranians aimed at expressing solidarity with the Iranian people and defending the country’s territorial integrity, and has no connection to citizens of other nations.

Pezeshkian joins over 14 million—and counting—in pledging lives for homeland

President Pezeshkian joins the 14-million-strong campaign participated by zealous Iranians pledging to sacrifice their lives in defense of their homeland.

During the meeting, the Iranian ambassador rejected any claims regarding the nature of the campaign, stating clearly that the initiative has no violent aspects whatsoever and that the interpretations presented in the media stem from misunderstanding and media-driven propaganda.

The Janfada campaign was launched in Iran to express solidarity and unity amid the US-Israeli war of aggression against the country. So far, more than 31 million people have joined the campaign.
