Iran Condemns ‘israeli’ Censorship of Retaliatory Attacks: ‘Just Getting Started’

Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, has strongly criticized the Israeli authorities for allegedly suppressing information about Iran’s retaliatory measures against what he described as Israeli aggression. Araghchi emphasized that Iran’s response is in its early stages, signaling potential for further actions.

In a Tuesday post on his X account, Araghchi criticized the Israeli authorities for imposing strict censorship regarding the impact of Iranian missiles on the occupied territories.

Netanyahu is attempting to conceal Iran’s military response as its robust Armed Forces take action against Israel’s aggression, he stated.

A report from personnel on the ground describes substantial destruction attributed to missile strikes, disorganized air defenses, and a panicked leader. The statement further indicates that this marks the beginning of operations.

On February 28, military forces from the United States and Israel initiated an unexpected operation targeting Iran, resulting in the assassination of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, along with senior military officials. In response to these actions, Iran has declared through Qalibaf that their retaliatory measures will adhere to the “eye for an eye” principle, signaling a commitment to reciprocal action against the US-Israeli offensive.

Iran has initiated a rapid response to recent hostilities, unleashing a series of missile and drone strikes targeting areas under Israeli control and US military installations in the region.

Israel’s military authorities have undertaken significant measures to restrict the dissemination of information.

Despite efforts by the military censorship office to manage the narrative, Hebrew media outlets have acknowledged ‘human casualties,’ suggesting that Iran’s missile strikes have inflicted a significant and unprecedented impact on the disputed entity.

In a recent statement, Araghchi cautioned that US officials are engaging in market manipulation by disseminating misleading information. “This tactic will not shield them from the inflationary wave they have unleashed on the American public,” he stated.

Financial markets are currently experiencing an unprecedented downturn, with losses surpassing those witnessed during major historical events such as the Arab oil embargo of 1973, the Iranian Islamic Revolution of 1979, and Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait in 1990.

Araghchi previously posted on X asserting that allegations regarding Iran’s intentions to attack the United States or American forces, either as a preemptive measure or otherwise, are entirely unfounded and evidently false.

He added, “The sole aim of this falsehood is to rationalize the ‘big mistake operation’—a perilous venture orchestrated by Israel and funded by everyday Americans.”
