On Friday, Iran dismissed allegations from the United States and over a dozen of its partners that Tehran had sought to assassinate or abduct dissidents, journalists, and officials in Western nations.
In a statement, Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei described the claims as “baseless”, calling them “an attempt to divert public attention from the most pressing issue of the day, the genocide in occupied Palestine”.
Western governments including the United States, Britain, France and Germany condemned in a joint statement on Thursday “the growing number of state threats from Iranian intelligence services in our respective territories”.
“We are united in our opposition to the attempts of Iranian intelligence services to kill, kidnap, and harass people in Europe and North America in clear violation of our sovereignty,” they said.
These services are progressively partnering with global criminal syndicates to focus on journalists, dissidents, Jewish individuals, and present and past officials in Europe and North America.
Baqaei stated that the allegations were “obvious fabrications… crafted as a component of a malevolent Iranophobia campaign intended to impose pressure on the distinguished Iranian populace. ”
