The Iranian Foreign Ministry has accused the United States of resorting to military aggression and fabricating lies in response to the massive public participation in the funeral procession of the late Iranian leader. The ministry's spokesperson stated that targeting vital
sites, including the railway line leading to Mashhad, reflects an attempt to overshadow the strong national solidarity and the citizens' commitment to their country's sovereignty. These remarks coincide with escalating bilateral tensions and mutual accusations amid fears of a broader
regional confrontation.
