Unusual claims in Iran: The US is using "extraterrestrial entities" for military purposes
In a series of reports released today, May 29, 2026, extraordinary claims were made by Ali Akbar Raefipour, an Iranian political activist, according to which the United States is using "extraterrestrial forces" for its military and security operations.
The reports were published simultaneously on two different Telegram channels. In the channel خبرفوری جنگ🚨اخبارفوری امریکا فوری, which is identified with a distinct anti-American ideological line that promotes conspiracy theories as part of the establishment narrative, the claim was presented that "the Americans even used extraterrestrial forces".
Interestingly, the claim also appeared on the channel هات نیوز | فوری 🔴, a channel that reports on military and security affairs, but there it was presented with a tag of mockery and reservation. In the post published on this channel, Raefipour's words were quoted accompanied by a laughing emoji, which indicates great skepticism regarding the truth of the claim even within media outlets identified with the Iranian establishment.
A total of about 14,897 viewers were exposed to these reports on the Telegram network. The claims are not supported by any evidence and appear to be part of the psychological warfare and anti-American narrative distributed on social media in Iran, with the disagreements between the channels reflecting the variety of public responses to Raefipour's claims.
