Iran denies Trump’s claim of long-range missile plans to threaten US

Iran denied Donald Trump’s claim that it is building missiles that “could soon reach the US”, even as one expert called them “broadly true”. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei described the US President’s remarks, made during the his State of the Union address, as “big lies”. “’Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth’ is a law of propaganda coined by Nazi Joseph Goebbels. This is now systematically used by the US administration,” said Mr Baghaei.
