New Delhi:
Iran Monday rubbished Israeli accusations about its alleged
involvement in attacks on Israeli personnel in India and Georgia,
saying they are "untrue and sheer lies."
"Any terrorist attack is condemned (by Iran) and we strongly
reject the untrue comments by an Israeli official," Iran's
Ambassador to India Seyed Mehdi Nabizadeh told IRNA, the Iranian
news agency. "These accusations are untrue and sheer lies, like
previous times."
The Iranian envoy was reacting to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu's comments blaming alleged terror attacks on "Iran and
its client Hezbollah".
Standing behind Monday's attacks was "Iran, the world's greatest
exporter of terror", Netanyahu said.
"In the last few months we have witnessed several attempts to
target Israeli citizens and Jews in a series of countries, such as
Azerbaijan and Thailand.
"In all of these cases we were able to thwart these attacks in
cooperation with local forces," he said.
A car belonging to the Israeli embassy was gutted after an
explosion Monday in a high-security zone in the Indian capital.
Four people, including the wife of an Israeli diplomat, were
injured, police said.
An attack was foiled in Georgia after an embassy staffer in
Tbilisi discovered a bomb underneath his car as he was driving to
the embassy Monday morning.
