Iran Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qassemi

Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman said Albania has been the victim of the ominous plots of the United States and Israel against Iran.

Iran Press/Iran news: In continuation of US, Zionists and some terrorist groups’ scenarios against the Islamic Republic, Albania has become the victim of an inadvertent action on Iranian diplomats, said Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qassemi on Thursday, Iran Press reported.

It has been reported that the NATO member has “consulted its alliance partners on the decision.”

“I think that this measure is the continuation of previous scenarios for severing relations between Iran and Europe in the current critical period,” said Bahram Qassemi.

Iran has always maintained an appropriate level of ties with Albania and respected the internal laws of the country, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman noted.

Since the United States was the first country to react to this issue and also regarding the fact that Albania has admitted consulting with allies about this case, it seems perfectly possible that US and Israeli regime are behind this measure, Qassemi maintained.

Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman went on to say that the Albanian government should be able to defend its independence and security and not let other countries affect and damage its ties with Iran.

Albania has expelled two Iranian diplomats, including the ambassador, claiming that they were after damaging the security of the country.
