Iran terms accusations concerning attack on Israeli tanker as baseless

TEHRAN, (ST)_Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh on Sunday described accusations of the US and Zionist regime concerning Iran’s involvement in the attack on Israeli-managed tanker as baseless.

Khatibzadeh made the remarks in a weekly news conference that was streamed online.

Asked about the Zionist regime’s accusations that Iran was involved in an attack on an Israeli tanker, he said that the illegitimate occupying regime must put an end to false accusations against Iran.

This is not the first time that the regime makes these accusations, he added.

He termed the accusations as naïve, noting that the accusations are based on the regime’s link in the US.

The officials of the regime must come to sense that they will not achieve anything by using the distractions.

The regime is in a bitter day of its own life, he said, adding that diverting attention by the regime is nothing new.
