Iranian Army spokesperson accuses US leaders of criminal acts in social media post

Brigadier General Mohammad Akraminia, the spokesperson for the Iranian Army, posted a statement on the social media platform X in which he referenced remarks by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio regarding the targeting of commercial vessels. According to Akraminia, the United States has also carried out attacks during negotiations that, he said, resulted in the deaths of civilians and sailors.

In his post, Akraminia cited the deaths of 168 children and several athletes in attacks involving prohibited bombs. He also referred to the killing of 104 sailors and an attack on a wedding ceremony. He concluded by questioning whether history, dating back to ancient times, had ever seen criminals comparable to the current US leadership.

The statement comes amid ongoing tensions between Iran and the United States. Akraminia's remarks were reported by Mehr News. The report did not provide further details on the specific incidents or the context of Rubio's comments.
