You can use empty character!

Just set parse_mode Field to HTML in sendMessage method , then in text Field insert the URL of the image into href

The hyperlink will not be seen when you use empty character :

<a href="https://www.nafasbekesh.ir/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/img1.jpg">
⁠</a>

Copy the empty character for your own use.
