‘Absurd’: Tehran refutes Trump’s allegations about assassination attempt
Iran on Friday dismissed “unfounded” allegations by the US president about Tehran’s alleged attempt to assassinate him as part of a broader psychological and propaganda campaign against Tehran.
US President Donald Trump on Tuesday issued a warning that Iran would be wiped “off the face of this earth” if Tehran ever succeeded in assassinating him.
Government spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani said in an interview with IRNA that Iran has a clear and longstanding policy of firmly opposing terrorism in all its forms.
“It is completely absurd that a country that has suffered the most from terrorism and paid heavy costs in fighting it becomes the target of such baseless allegations,” the official said.
Mahajerani said that the official position of the Iranian government has always been and will remain the rejection of violence and terror in all its forms.
She described the move as “a futile attempt” to divert attention from international realities, noting that the accusations lack legal and logical credibility, and are merely designed for deflection and influencing public opinion.
