TEHRAN (Lord Media): Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has accused the United States of using concerns over Iran’s nuclear weapons as a pretext for issuing war threats. In a social media statement, he claimed that the US had used the PRSM missile for the first time in the southern Iranian city of Lamerd.

The Iranian president stated that Washington is now using the ‘Mother of All Bombs’ as a reference to push diplomacy through threats. He questioned who the real threat to global peace is.

Reports indicate that on February 28, 2026, an attack in Lamerd resulted in the deaths of 21 civilians. The US Central Command has denied responsibility for the attack, claiming that an Iranian cruise missile was used.

According to US media, the White House had prepared plans for the potential use of the Mother of All Bombs against Iran. The primary cause of tension between Iran and the US is Iran’s nuclear program.

Iran has announced its commitment to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, although some hardline factions are demanding withdrawal from the agreement.

Efforts to resume negotiations through Qatar and Pakistan are ongoing. However, Iran states that talks are not possible under US sanctions and military pressure.  LORD
