Jakarta \u2013 A post on Instagram social media falsely narrated that\nIran, through Iran\u2019s Ambassador to Indonesia Mohammad Boroujerdi,\nrejected Indonesia\u2019s invitation to mediate the conflict between Iran and\nthe United States.<\/p>\n
The post also claimed that Iran demanded Indonesia would better care\nfor its own citizens, stating that many Indonesians still live in\npoverty.<\/p>\n
The narrative in the post read: \u201cIRAN Rejects Indonesia\u2019s Mediation\nInvitation with the US: Better the P00R! We are not opening space for\nmediation with the US!\u201d<\/p>\n
The post included the following narration: \u201cRegarding Indonesia\u2019s\nmediation, it would be better to conserve your energy and time entirely\nfor the interests of your own people who still lack many necessities,\nbecause we know your people there require your assistance and help more.\nYou better just care for your people, please, I greatly appreciate your\ngood intentions. But we do not accept any form of mediation with the\nUS.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, is it true that Iran rejected Indonesia\u2019s mediation\ninvitation with the US and demanded that Prabowo tend to Indonesia\u2019s\nimpoverished citizens?<\/p>\n
Explanation:<\/p>\n
Iran\u2019s Ambassador to Indonesia Mohammad Boroujerdi did express\nappreciation for the Indonesian government\u2019s good intentions in wanting\nto mediate between Iran and the United States.<\/p>\n
However, on Thursday 5 March, Boroujerdi reiterated that Iran rejects\nmediation offers from several countries to ease escalation of the\nconflict in the Middle East.<\/p>\n
According to ANTARA, he stated that Iran will not conduct\nnegotiations with the United States.<\/p>\n
The statement was made when he was met at his residence in Jakarta,\nreferring to a statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the\nRepublic of Indonesia, which mentioned that Indonesia was ready to\nfacilitate dialogue to create a more conducive security environment and\nPresident Prabowo Subianto\u2019s readiness to serve as a mediator.<\/p>\n
Boroujerdi also explained that Iran had previously conducted\nnegotiations with the United States three times. However, according to\nhim, each negotiation ended with violations of agreements or military\naction by the United States.<\/p>\n
No official statement from the Iranian Ambassador was found stating\nthat Indonesia should tend to the poor or denigrate the condition of\nIndonesian society as narrated in the social media post.<\/p>\n
Therefore, the claim that Iran rejected Indonesia\u2019s mediation whilst\ndemanding Indonesia focus on its impoverished citizens constitutes false\nor incorrect information.<\/p>\n
Claim: Iran demands Prabowo tends to Indonesia\u2019s poor<\/p>\n
