Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast on Wednesday dismissed British Prime Minister David Cameron's Bulgaria terror charge against Iran, adding that Cameron has leveled the terror charge against Iran to sabotage Iranian ties with its friends and partners.
He refuted the prime minister for accusing Iran of involvement in terrorist attack on Israeli bus in Bulgaria.
"Such claims will certainly get nowhere," Mehman-Parast said, noting that leveling terror charge against Iran indicate that British government's stance vis-à-vis Iran is still hostile.
He contended that Iran has always declared its opposition to terror acts.
A deadly attack against Israeli tourists took place in the Black Sea city of Burgas, 400 kilometers (248 miles) east of the Bulgarian capital Sofia, late last month.
Israeli officials accused Iran and the Lebanese resistance movement of Hezbollah of carrying out the attack.
Mehman-Parast had also earlier strongly rejected the allegations, and said, "The Zionist regime as master of state and organized terrorism has its hands in blood of innocent Lebanese, Palestinian and other nationalities."
The diplomat pointed out that the Zionist regime that has a direct role in terror of Iran's nuclear scientists engages in lodging baseless accusations against other countries in order to distract the attention of the international community from its terrorist activities being carried out throughout the world.
