We are witnessing that the world today sees Iran as a symbol of the resistance against the US and the West’s excessive demands and colonial behavior, Abolfazl Hassanbeigi told IRNA on Saturday.
However, he added, the Americans are trying to use propaganda to misrepresent this and neutralize the unity formed among Iranians.
He singled out the seizure of two Greek tankers by Iran in the Persian Gulf as an example of the US’ psychological warfare against Iran.
The Americans seized an Iranian tanker via a third country (Greece) and looted the Iranian oil it was carrying, Hassanbeigi said, adding that this was reminiscent of two centuries ago and an indication of weakness of the US.
Iran’s IRGC seized two Greek tankers last week in the Persian Gulf days after the seizure of Iranian tanker by Greece at the request of the United States.
