Larijani mocks Trump’s claims on Iran rallies being AI, draws parallel to Pahlavi Era

The Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Ali Larijani, has rejected recent remarks by Donald Trump, who dismissed the recent massive anti-US and anti-Israel demonstrations across Iran as being generated by artificial intelligence, suggesting that the American president doesn’t want to see the reality of situation.

In a rebuke posted on social media, Larijani drew a historical parallel between Trump’s comments and those of the former prime minister of the deposed US-backed Pahlavi regime during the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Larijani stated that 47 years ago, the “delusional” Pahlavi official falsely claimed that the masses filling the streets were not real and that their voices were merely from tape recordings.

Larijani highlighted that today, millions of Iranians have once again taken to the streets in cities across the nation to voice their opposition to the United States and Israel.

He characterized Trump’s suggestion that these powerful scenes of popular support were AI-generated as a modern echo of that same historical delusion and denial of the Iranian people’s will.

The senior official asserted that the “historic victory of Iran over the remnants of the Epstein Island network is near.”

Iran has seen millions-strong anti-US rallies following the unprovoked US-Israeli aggression started on February 28.

On that day, the US and Israel launched joint attacks on Tehran and other Iranian cities, assassinating late Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, senior military commanders, and thousands of civilians.

Iran has responded with waves of missile and drone strikes targeting Israeli and US bases and assets across West Asia.
