Iran Dismisses US Claims of Threats Against Former Officials as Baseless

The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kan'ani has rejected allegations made by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken regarding Iranian threats against former American officials. In a statement on Thursday, Kan'ani described the accusations as "ridiculous and totally baseless."

Iran (IMNA) - Kan'ani stated that such claims are part of the electoral settings in the US that pursue specific political purposes, which do not even merit a response. He emphasized that these false and political accusations against Iran, made amid the current inflamed regional circumstances, cannot excuse the US government from its international responsibility for aiding and abetting the Zionist regime in committing international crimes in Palestine and Lebanon. "The world's public opinion holds the US regime and its officials accountable for such humanitarian catastrophes," he added.

The spokesman stressed that the US government's "ridiculous and groundless" shows and scenarios against Iran would not undermine Tehran's determination to judicially, legally and internationally prosecute those who have ordered and perpetrated crimes against the Iranian people. Kan'ani emphasized that the criminals cannot escape punishment and trial by statute of limitations.

His comments came after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated on Wednesday that authorities have been tracking Iranian threats against a number of US officials, including former president Donald Trump and some who serve in Joe Biden's administration.
