Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi suggested in a post to X on Thursday that the U.S. had "miscalculated" in its war against Iran due to faulty intelligence.
"The U.S. has long miscalculated due to intelligence failures. Case in point: The war on Iran," the foreign minister wrote.
"Now, an even bigger miscalculation on the Strait of Hormuz. Worse than fake news is fake intelligence. Be careful," he added.
