According to CoinMeta, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahagae stated: "U.S. officials have now concocted a new set of deceptive rhetoric in an attempt to evade their responsibility for the catastrophic humanitarian, economic, and geopolitical consequences of their illegal aggression against Iran. They claim, 'It was not the United States that initiated the war against Iran; it was the Iranians who started the war through the Islamic Revolution of 1979!' Such blatant fabrication can be easily seen through by any rational person. No matter how urgently U.S. officials try to avoid this issue, they cannot erase the memory of this fact from the American people and the whole world: in less than nine months, the United States launched two unprovoked military aggressions against Iran during diplomatic negotiations. They assassinated Iran's supreme leader and several high-ranking officials, causing death and injury to Iranian women and children, and destroyed our important infrastructure. Now, the U.S. government is in a desperate situation both militarily and politically, trying on one hand to deny its responsibility for starting the war, and on the other hand to cover up the fact that its established goals were not achieved by claiming victory."
