In the latest twist of Malibu-style drama, Iran is ringing alarm bells over the scandal surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, suggesting it might be more than just a criminal case. The Iranian government is hinting that it could be part of a broader "geopolitical project" to advance Israel's interests. This isn't just a Hollywood script – it's real life, folks! The recent release of Epstein's files has sent ripples through media outlets, politics, and even the shiny streets of Tinseltown, putting many high-profile figures under the microscope for their links to the convicted sex offender.
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman, Esmail Baghaei, didn't hold back during Tuesday's press briefing. He urged the world not to dismiss these explosive documents as merely a U.S.-centric issue. "Given multiple reports indicating that the Israeli regime or others have exploited these cases and related proceedings to advance their political objectives, it strengthens the suspicion that the entire affair may be part of a long-running and extensive project to further the political goals of certain parties, particularly the Israeli regime," Baghaei said. The scandal, he pointed out, is a "human and civilizational catastrophe," casting long shadows over global governance.
“The crimes reflected in these reports depict horrific events and reveal a deeply troubling mindset among this class of individuals towards women, children, and girls,” Baghaei emphasized, summing up the enormity of the crisis.
Last week's data dump by the U.S. Department of Justice – a whopping three million pages worth – has implicated some heavy hitters. The files connect figures like US President Donald Trump, Jared Kushner, and ex-Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak to Epstein, stirring the pot further with claims of ties to Israeli intelligence. An October 2020 FBI memo from the Los Angeles office raised eyebrows by suggesting Epstein might have been a "co-opted Mossad agent." With confidential sources hinting at Trump’s susceptibility to Israeli leverage, the drama is far from over. As the plot thickens, it’s clear we’re just scratching the surface of this international saga.
