Iran's Permanent Mission to the United Nations dismissed US media reports claiming that Tehran sent a letter to incumbent US President Joe Biden last month, in which it asserted that it did not seek to eliminate former US President Donald Trump.

Citing American officials, The Wall Street Journal claimed Friday that Iran confirmed in a written message to the Biden administration on October 14 that it did not seek to kill Trump, whom Tehran holds directly responsible for the assassination of the former commander of the IRGC's Quds Force martyr General Qassem Soleimani.

Commenting on these reports, the mission pointed out that it does not issue public statements on the details of official correspondence exchanged between the two countries.

Iran's UN mission underscored that Tehran has long committed to pursuing the matter of the assassination of martyr Soleimani through legal and judicial means and in full adherence to recognized principles of international law.

In June, Iran issued an indictment against the United States government and American military officials regarding the 2020 assassination of martyr Soleimani.

Ali Alghasi-Mehr, the judiciary chief for Tehran province, said that after collecting more than 12,000 pages of documents, the 164-page indictment was issued against 73 American officials, adding that "all the defendants, who are US statesmen and military officials, have been officially notified of the case and required to introduce their lawyers."

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi last week dismissed US allegations linking Tehran to an alleged plot to assassinate Trump.  

Earlier, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei also denounced the claim as a "repulsive" scheme orchestrated by "Israel" and opposition groups outside Iran, aimed at complicating matters between the United States and Iran.

Baghaei called the allegations "totally unfounded" and rejected "allegations that Iran is implicated in an assassination attempt targeting former or current American officials."

The Iranian diplomats' statements came after US prosecutors announced last week charges related to an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate Trump and a prominent Iranian-American opposition journalist.

The US Justice Department alleged that the foiled plot to kill Trump was orchestrated by Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps as retaliation for the assassination of General Soleimani, who was killed in 2020 in a US strike authorized by then-President Trump.
