Has the West started a new smear campaign against Iran?
Reports claim that Treasury Secretary Scott Bassan has been moved to a military base because of alleged Iranian assassination threats, while Stephen Miller and Marco Rubio have also been moved. Analysts say the allegations are aimed at demonizing Iran and justifying the illegal war, especially after Republican midterm defeats related to the Iran war and high energy prices. An Iranian official told The Tehran Times that Washington had "lost face" and failed to dislodge the Islamic Republic. Unsubstantiated accusations from France and Germany add to what analysts call a coordinated smear campaign.
