Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei has forcefully rejected U.S. claims that Tehran could produce nuclear bomb material within a week. Speaking in Farsi, Baqaei said Iran had no active enrichment following reported strikes on its nuclear facilities, arguing that Washington’s statements were “lie after lie” and a justification for military action. He referenced remarks attributed to U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff warning of a rapid breakout timeline. Baqaei insisted Iran remains a member of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and described the accusations as deceptive diplomacy. The exchange marks a sharp escalation in rhetoric as military operations and political tensions continue to intensify across the region.
