Iran rejects ‘fabricated’ US claims about anti-Trump plot
Araghchi made the remarks in a post on X on Saturday, a day after the US Justice Department accused Iran of backing a plot to kill Trump just weeks before the November 5 election.
“The American people have made their choice and Iran respects their right to elect the president of their choice. The path forward is also a choice. It begins with respect,” Araghchi said.
Pointing to the assassination of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran just hours after he attended the inauguration of new Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Araghchi suggested that the accusation against Iran of plotting to assassinate Trump right before he is elected has been made to serve the same purpose.
“Remember the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran right after our President’s inauguration? Everyone knows who did it and why,” he said. “Now, with another election, a new scenario is fabricated with the same goal.”
