In a post on his X account on Wednesday, Baqaei said, “False flags are an old craft: manufacture the incident, assign the blame, and harvest the consequences.”
He added, “In a world where the American and international public is weary of an unlawful war of aggression against Iran, and where the aggressors have no honest way to justify a war of choice, even a raft made of lies can look like salvation to those who are drowning.”
