Lebanese journalist Nadim Koteich said in a show on Sky News Arabia (UAE) that the Iranian regime exists in an imaginary “parallel” universe and that it ignores facts that it considers to be inconvenient.
He explained that this is why it is not possible to come to an understanding with the regime.
Koteich gave the example of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi’s recent appearance on 60 Minutes in which he questioned the validity of historical claims surrounding the Holocaust.
Koteich also gave the example of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, and he said that despite photos of Amini in a coma and despite the medical reports indicating that she died as a result of being beaten, the Iranian regime insists that the “rumors” about her death are “fabrications” made up by foreign embassies and intelligence services.
