The Iran government are wold-class-bastards and thinking that they're one iota more trustworthy than Washington or Tel Aviv is madness. If they're telling the truth, that's incidental to the truth serving their momentary interest.
If Tehran says water is wet, the sky is blue, or Trump is lying, it's worthwhile to double-check
