Iranian official accuses US and Israel of employing Goebbels-like propaganda

Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmail Baqaei accuses the US and Israel of using Nazi propaganda in a disinformation campaign against Tehran.

“Professional liars are good at creating the ‘illusion of truth,'” writes Baqaei on X, posting the message in English, Farsi and Arabic.

Baqaei continues: “‘Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth,’ is a law of propaganda coined by Nazi Joseph Goebbels. This is now systematically used by the U.S. administration and the war profiteers encircling it, particularly the genocidal Israeli regime, to serve their sinister disinformation & misinformation campaign against the Nation of Iran.”

The spokesman writes that “whatever they’re alleging in regards to Iran’s nuclear orogram [sic], Iran’s ballistic missiles, and the number of casualties during January’s unrest is simply the repetition of ‘big lies,'” adding that “no one should be fooled by these prominent untruths.”
