Iranian Foreign Ministry summoned the Swiss ambassador to Tehran, representing US Interest Section in Iran, over unfounded and baseless remarks of US officials against Iran.

Iran PressIran News: Saeed Khatibzadeh said that the Islamic Republic of Iran advises the United States to refrain from useless projections.

Swiss envoy to Iran was summoned by Assistant and Director General of Iranian Foreign Ministry for American Affairs on Thursday following some baseless allegations raised by US officials about the interference of other countries in the upcoming 2020 Presidential Election in the United States.

While rejecting the repeated claims and false, clumsy, and fraudulent reports of the US officials, Khatibzadeh stressed once again that it does not matter for Tehran which of the two current candidates will run for the White House.

The US along with its intelligence and security services, which have a long history in interference and creating chaos in the elections of other countries, make baseless claims on the eve of the US elections to advance their undemocratic project and predefined scenario with some projections, he said, adding, "It is not far-fetched that the designers of such childish scenarios seek to divert public attention and suspicious provocations in the run-up to the elections.”

The Islamic Republic of Iran advises that the United States should refrain from useless projections, baseless accusations, and suspicious scenarios, and try to act like a normal country in the field of international relations and in relation to other countries, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Khatibzadeh underscored.

Director of National Intelligence (DNI) in the US Donald Trump administration, John Ratcliffe claimed late Wednesday that voter registration information had been obtained by Iran and Russia in an attempt to undermine confidence in the 2020 US election.

Ratcliffe claimed that Iran sought to sow unrest in the US in an attempt to damage the candidacy of President Donald Trump.
