Iran’s foreign ministry on Wednesday dismissed US claims about its missile programme as “big lies”, after President Donald Trump claimed Tehran was developing missiles that can strike the United States. “Whatever they’re alleging in regards to Iran’s nuclear programme, Iran’s ballistic missiles, and the number of casualties during January’s unrest, is simply the repetition of ‘big lies’,” ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said on X.
