As the attacks by the US and Israel against Iran continue, a striking claim has emerged from Tehran. Ali Larijani, Secretary-General of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, alleged in a statement on social media that he had received information that some American soldiers had been taken prisoner during the clashes.
In his statement, Larijani said, "I have been informed that several American soldiers have been taken prisoner. However, the Americans claim that these soldiers were killed in the clash. Despite their futile efforts, they cannot hide the truth for very long."
STERN DENIAL FROM WASHINGTON
A response to the claim in question came from the US side shortly after. The US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that the Iranian official's statement did not reflect the truth.
CENTCOM spokesperson Tim Hawkins said in a statement, "The Iranian regime is doing its best to spread lies and deceive everyone. This is a clear example of that."
6 SOLDIERS HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN ANNOUNCED DEAD
The US Central Command had previously announced that 6 American soldiers had lost their lives during the clashes with Iran. The claim of prisoners put forward by Iran was categorically denied by Washington.
