Iran: Israeli allegations of threat to its athletes ‘lies’
“Terrorist acts have no place in the principles of resistance groups. Lies and deceit cannot switch the roles of the plaintiff and the accused,” Iran’s permanent mission to the United Nations said in a brief statement, Press TV
reported.
The rebuttal came after Israeli foreign minister Israel Katz was reported to have warned his French counterpart Stephane Sejourne of attempts to carry out attacks against members of the Israeli delegation and Israeli tourists during the Olympics.
The Israeli allegation comes as a global campaign has been launched to ban the regime’s representatives from participating in the Games, citing the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip.
