Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) spokesperson Hossein Mohbi claimed on Wednesday that a US-made Patriot missile was responsible for the destruction of the passenger terminal building at Kuwait International Airport.

According to the semi-official Tasnim news agency, Mohbi said an investigation had been conducted into the attack on the airport terminal, claiming that the IRGC Air Force had not targeted the facility.

He said the findings showed that the destruction of the terminal was caused by a malfunction in US Patriot air defence systems, which failed to intercept Iranian missiles and instead fell onto the building.

At least with Iranian information I can suss out the BS a lot easier? Holocaust denial? "Iran shot down 45 F35" yeah okay. But the actual status, casualty rate and potentially how my country is doing in this conflict Trump invented I genuinely have to see what Iran is saying to know. So for me, the US is far more untrustworthy.

This might give you a hint though, that you're not the target of either of those lies.

The propaganda that targets you is the one that you believe.
