Envoy Slams Anti-Iran Allegations by US as Propaganda Campaign
Iran’s Ambassador to the United Nations Gholam Ali Khoshroo rejected recent allegations raised by the US authorities against the Islamic Republic as “a misleading propaganda campaign against Iran and its role in the region”.
“Today we heard unsubstantiated allegations against my country which I categorically reject as a misleading propaganda campaign against Iran and its role in the region, designed and perpetrated hysterically by Israel and certain countries in the region, including those who fully supported Saddam Hossein’s aggression against Iran,” Khoshroo said on Thursday, addressing the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Open Debate on “Situation in the Middle East, Including Palestine”.
The remarks came after some US officials, including Defense Secretary James Mattis, have recently repeated anti-Iran allegations.
