Iran has denounced accusations by leading industrial nations that Tehran was behind last week's deadly attack on an oil tanker in the Arabian Sea.
TEHRAN, IRAN -- Iran on Saturday denounced accusations by leading industrial nations that Tehran was behind last week's deadly attack on an oil tanker in the Arabian Sea, the official IRNA news agency reported.
Khatibzadeh said the statement made baseless accusations against Iran. He called the accusation a "scenario" created by Israel and said Israel has had a long history designing similar "plots." The G7 said Friday the July 29 attack in international waters in the Arabian Sea off the coast of Oman that killed two people was "a clear violation of international law." They added that "all available evidence clearly points to Iran."
Khatibzadeh said Iran as been committed to providing security in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz and said Iran was ready to work with nations to form a collective security system while defending its sovereignty.
