In a note, Kayhan analyzed how the Washington Post revealed Trump's false claim about Iran when the Islamic Republic showered a U.S. air base in western Iraq with missiles in January 2020.
It said: Trump claims that Iran informed him that it will attack an American base and shoot missiles “around” the (Ain Al Asad) base. This claim by Trump is nonsense. In fact, Iran gave a vague warning to then Iraqi Prime Minister without introducing the target of the attack, and most of the missiles hit the base. No one was killed though more than 100 service members suffered from traumatic brain injuries. In his interview with Univision, Trump claimed, “They (Iranians) call me and … this is Iran. This is, you know, this is Iran who’s supposed to be so hostile. They respected us. And I respect them.” The Post also mentioned the meeting of then-Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe with the Leader of Iran in Tehran in the same year that Iran hit the Ain Al Asad air base. The Keyhan newspaper added when Abe carried a message from Trump to Ayatollah Khamenei, the Leader told Abe that "I have no response for him and will not answer him" and that Trump was not “worthy” of exchanging messages with. In such an environment how could it be possible for Iranian officials to contact Trump and coordinate the attack on the Ain Al Asad air base with him?!
