Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf dismissed a recent report by the US-based outlet Axios about a supposed impending arrangement between Tehran and Washington, describing them as misleading and part of recurring fake US media narratives.
In a post on X on Thursday, the Iranian parliament speaker mocked allegations published by Axios regarding such an arrangement, referring to them as “Operation Fauxios.”
Operation Trust Me Bro failed. Now back to routine with Operation Fauxios.
— محمدباقر قالیباف | MB Ghalibaf (@mb_ghalibaf) May 6, 2026
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.
Ghalibaf 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.
