TEHRAN – Iran's mission to the United Nations has firmly rejected Western reports of Tehran’s involvement in Hamas’ Operation True Promise which hit the occupied territories last year, characterizing the claims as psychological operations. 

On Monday, the Iranian mission to the United Nations posted on its X account, stating, “Psychological operations aim to mislead public opinion by selectively blending certain evident facts with false information. Iran’s support for the Resistance Front in their struggle against occupation and aggression is well-known and indisputable.”

The statement further emphasized that implicating Iran or Hezbollah in the October 7 Operation is a fabricated narrative and a cynical effort to mislead the public, intended to obscure the significant intelligence failures of the Israeli regime regarding Hamas.

The Iranian mission in New York remarked that certain American media outlets, by becoming instruments of this psychological operation, are inadvertently undermining the credibility of assessments made by their own intelligence and security agencies, which have been raised at the highest levels, including by the president of the United States.

The mission underscored that the Islamic Republic of Iran did not play any role in the planning, decision-making, or execution of the October 7 operation.
