Iran rejects U.S. plot allegation as fabricated scenario
TEHRAN - Iran on Tuesday dismissed as a fabricated scenario the allegation that Iran had hatched a plot to assassinate the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the United States.
“The false claim that (Iran) has plotted to assassinate the Saudi Arabian ambassador has no basis in fact,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said in a statement.
According to Reuters, U.S. authorities claimed on Tuesday that they had broken up a plot by two men linked to Iran’s security agencies to kill the Saudi envoy, Adel al-Jubeir.
Mehmanparast said, “Such outmoded behaviors are based on old hostile American-Zionist policies and can be regarded as a ridiculous farce and (an attempt) by the enemies of Islam and the region to fabricate scenarios with the aim of provoking division.”
“Such a fabricated scenario is only meant to create division among regional countries and end the Zionist regime’s international isolation,” he said.
He added that Tehran-Riyadh relationship is based on mutual respect, emphasizing that such allegations will get nowhere.
Tehran warns of repercussions of U.S. move
The Iranian ambassador to the United Nations, in a letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on Tuesday, warned about the severe repercussions of U.S. allegations against Iran, saying that the adoption of such divisive and hostile policies by the U.S. government will negatively affect international security and peace.
Ambassador Mohammad Khazaii said that the Islamic Republic has been a victim of terrorist actions and has always condemned terrorism in all its forms.
“The Iranian nation is seeking a world without terrorism and regards the current American warmongers and their propaganda machine against Iran not only as a threat against themselves but also as a threat to the peace and stability,” he stated.
In addition, he said that the Islamic Republic is determined to maintain its friendly relations with regional countries, especially its Muslim neighbors, and calls on regional nations to be vigilant in the face of evil plots, which have targeted the peace and stability of the region.
In conclusion, the Iranian ambassador urged the UN secretary general to try to enlighten the world public opinion on the U.S. government’s warmongering policies.
Washington will be compelled to apologize to Iran
Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi also said on Wednesday that the U.S. move is an “extremely amateurish game.”
“They will be compelled to apologize to Iran,” he stated.
He went on to say that Iran and Saudi Arabia enjoy a good relationship and only have some disagreements over a number of international issues.
He added, “Americans are trying to divert attention through fabricating such scenarios because their country is faced with many internal problems. These days we are observing a wave of popular demonstrations against the U.S. government’s policies, a rise in poverty, and the descending graph of the U.S. economy.”
U.S. claim against Iran mischievous: Larijani
Majlis speaker Ali Larijani also said on Wednesday that the U.S. has started a “foolish and evil” game against Tehran.
“The Americans have started a foolish and evil move which is meant to deflect attention from their problems in the region,” Larijani told an open session of the Majlis.
Larijani added that such “cheap” claims by the U.S. are meant to cover up internal problems, an indirect reference to massive protests in the U.S. which have resulted from economic problems.
Swiss envoy summoned over U.S. allegation
On Wednesday, Iranian Foreign Ministry summoned Swiss chargé d'affaires to Tehran to protest about the U.S. allegation against Iran.
The Swiss Embassy in Tehran represents U.S. interests in Iran since Tehran and Washington cut diplomatic ties in 1980.
