Speaker, Mohammad-Baqer Qalibaf

Majlis (the Iranian Parliament)'s speaker dismisses recent reports about a supposed impending arrangement between Tehran and Washington, describing them as misleading and part of recurring fake media narratives originating in the United States.

In a post on X on Thursday, Mohammad-Baqer Qalibaf referred to allegations published by the US-based outlet Axios regarding such an arrangement, ironically describing them as "Operation Fauxios."

He suggested that circulation of such reports reflected a routine pattern in US media coverage, particularly stories attributed to unnamed sources that Iranian officials have repeatedly rejected as unfounded and have later been proven invariably wrong.

Qalibaf noted that the psychological operation had come after "Operation Trust Me Bro failed," pointing to the unfailing frustration of US President Donald Trump's hostile intentions regarding the Islamic Republic during Washington's latest aggression.

The US and the Israeli regime launched their latest round of unprovoked aggression targeting Iran from February 28 to April 7.

The latter date saw Trump announce a unilateral two-week ceasefire after the Islamic Republic faced the aggression with at least 100 waves of decisive and successful retaliatory strikes.

In a move sending shockwaves throughout the global energy markets, the Islamic Republic shut the Strait of Hormuz to enemies and their allies and then deployed far stricter controls over the waterway after Washington sustained an illegal naval blockade it had imposed on the country.

Iran then ruled out returning to the negotiation table unless the blockade was lifted. On Wednesday and amid the Islamic Republic's continued resilience, Trump said he was "pausing" his so-called "Project Freedom," a much-hyped plan supposedly aimed at forcibly reopening the strait.
