In a post published on his X account on Friday, Araqchi shared an image of a TIME magazine report concerning an Israeli influence operation targeting supporters of US President Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) movement, using it to criticize the Israeli regime’s efforts to shape US policy toward the region.
“Americans are being warned of Foreign Influence,” the Iranian foreign minister said.
“How about the extensive Israeli Campaign to bamboozle the US Administration into an unwinnable war of choice?” he asked.
“Even worse: Israel is using US taxpayer dollars to silence any US critics. It will all soon unravel,” Araqchi added.

The image attached to Araqchi’s post featured the headline of a TIME magazine report titled, “Trump’s Ex-campaign Manager Is Running an Israeli Influence Operation Targeting the MAGA Base.” The screenshot also identified ‘Brad Parscale’, who managed Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign, in connection with the report.
