"Both events involve Iranian Parliamentary Speaker Muhammad Bagher Ghalibaf issuing public statements in Tehran on the same day. Event 6 focuses on dismissing economic pressure and criticizing Trump's policy, while the new event focuses on accusing the US of funding Israel. They are part of the same coordinated political messaging campaign by the Iranian leadership to counter US actions."
"The new event is a rhetorical response to the US maintaining economic pressure and refusing to restore the nuclear deal (Event 3).
