Writing on X, Baghaei said, "Washington's rulers still assume that people lack memory and analytical awareness; as if the world is like the 'Pluribus' series, and everyone, with their minds switched off, must focus on Washington's lips and believe its narrative word for word, without deviation."
Baghaei also pointed to what he called an "economic war targeting Iranians," coinciding with US claims of barring Iranian officials from shopping at a major store in New York City.
