“The Islamic Republic of Iran has always been the main victim of terrorism over the past years and thousands of Iranians, including citizens and high-ranking officials as well as Iranian scientists, have been targeted by organized terrorist measures,” said the mission on Tuesday in response to a report by the Washington Post.
The Washington Post claimed on Monday that Iran-linked operatives have hatched plots to kill foreign diplomats over a span of 13 months. The targets, the American daily claimed, included two Saudi officials, a half-dozen Israelis and several Americans in seven or more countries.
“Iran has always condemned any act of terrorism; and such baseless allegations are being made against the country in line with Iranophobia and the policy of exerting illegal pressure on the Islamic Republic,” it added.
