Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi suggested that President Donald Trump is being influenced by “disinformation” as he weighs a decision to strike Iran over its deadly crackdown on anti-regime protesters.
Araghchi claimed on Sunday that “certain parties” who want war for “their own benefit” are pushing U.S. military intervention and a conflict with Iran. While he appeared unfazed by that prospect, he nonetheless urged Trump to avoid it.
“I’m not concerned about war. What I’m concerned [about] is miscalculations and military operations based on misinformation and disinformation campaigns,” he told CNN’s Frederik Pleitgen. “I think President Trump is wise enough to make a correct decision.”
