Major Gaslighting: Araghchi Claims U.S. "Mimic" Drones Are Framing Iran in Attacks on Arab Nations
Tehran proposes a joint probe into strikes on civilian areas, accusing Israel and the U.S. of using "mimic" drones to damage Iran’s relations with Arab neighbors.
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has made several claims amid the ongoing U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict, including accusations that the United States developed a drone called "LUCAS" (Low-cost Unmanned Combat Attack System) designed to mimic Iran's Shahed drones, which is being used to strike targets in Arab countries.
He also suggested that Israel is likely behind attacks on civilian targets in Arab states, aiming to damage those countries' relations with Iran.
In the same interview with Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, Araghchi stated that Iran has not attacked civilian areas or residential neighborhoods, emphasizing that Tehran's military operations target only U.S. and Israeli interests.
He offered to form a joint committee with regional countries to investigate strikes on civilian sites.
Additionally, Araghchi affirmed that Iran's Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is "in good health" and "fully managing the situation," countering U.S. suggestions of his injury during recent strikes.
These statements come as the war enters its third week, with Iran facing intensified U.S. and Israeli airstrikes.
