Iran Press/ Iran news: In his statement, Baghaei referred to similar accusations made in the past, which were strongly rejected by the Islamic Republic of Iran and have since been proven false.
He described the repetition of such claims at this time as a repulsive conspiracy orchestrated by Zionist and anti-Iranian groups aimed at complicating the relationship between the U.S. and Iran.
Baghaei also reaffirmed that, as previously stated, the Islamic Republic of Iran will continue to use all legitimate domestic and international legal tools to secure the rights of the Iranian people.
The U.S. Department of Justice recently filed criminal charges against Farhad Shakeri, an Afghan national allegedly tasked by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard to surveil and plot the assassination of Donald Trump before the presidential election.
The recent allegations that Iran orchestrated a plot to assassinate Donald Trump are not new; such claims have been made repeatedly over the years with no substantive evidence to back them up. Notably, in 2011, Iran was accused of planning to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in Washington, a claim Tehran denied.
U.S. officials have also suggested Iranian involvement in targeting former U.S. officials, but these allegations remain disputed and unproven.
Iran has long dismissed these accusations as baseless and politically motivated, particularly by anti-Iran factions seeking to worsen relations between the U.S. and Iran.
Spokesperson Ismail Baghaei stressed that these accusations were part of a larger agenda, aimed at distracting from more pressing diplomatic concerns and inflaming tensions between the two countries.
