Iranian Foreign Ministry Accuses Washington of Targeting Infrastructure and Escalating Tensions

The Iranian Foreign Ministry accused the United States of resorting to military aggression and fabricating lies in response to the massive public participation in the funeral processions of the late Supreme Leader. The ministry's spokesperson clarified that the targeting included infrastructure, such as the railway leading to the city of Mashhad, describing it as an attempt to overshadow the mass turnout supporting the country's sovereignty. This statement coincides with a sharp escalation in tensions and mutual accusations between Tehran and Washington, amid regional fears of a broader confrontation.
