Washington is blaming Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution for the current conflict to evade responsibility for launching military attacks and failing to achieve its objectives, Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said Saturday.

In a post on X, Baghaei rejected what he described as a new American narrative that Iran had started the confrontation through its revolution. "The United States cannot escape responsibility for its decision to launch unlawful war of choice against Iran on 28 February 2026," he wrote.

Baghaei accused Washington of attacking Iran twice in less than nine months while diplomatic negotiations were underway, killing the country's supreme leader and senior officials, causing civilian casualties and destroying vital infrastructure. He said the US administration had reached a military and political dead end and was attempting to portray the conflict as a victory while concealing its failure to achieve its objectives.

Tracing the history of US-Iranian hostility, Baghaei cited the CIA-backed 1953 coup, and said that the United States had initiated both the historical hostility between the countries and the current military confrontation.
