Iran's MFA spokesperson Saeed Khatibzadeh says Israeli accusations against Iran are to divert Turkish and regional attention from Palestine.

  • Iran MFA accuses
    "Israel" and Turkey have recently begun working on restoring ambassador-level diplomatic representation 

Iran's Foreign Ministry stated on Friday that the Israeli Foreign Ministry's accusation against Iran of planning to assassinate Israelis on Turkish soil is an attempt at destroying relations between Tehran and Ankara.

Tehran's Foreign Ministry Spokesperson, Saeed Khatibzadeh, said in a statement issued in response to accusations made by the Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid during a joint press conference with the Turkish Foreign Minister in Ankara, that these accusations and claims are laughable, and are part of a pre-planned scenario to sabotage relations between two Muslim countries. 

Khatibzadeh pointed out that "Tel Aviv" is attempting to divert Turkish and regional attention away from the Palestinian cause, and "Israel's" terrorist, saboteur behavior, calling on Turkey to respond to these false claims.

He further added that, unfortunately, close to a week ago, some psy-ops were launched to implicate media outlets in imagined scenarios using incorrect, targeted information to pave the way for the Israeli Foreign Minister's accusations.

The spokesperson continued, saying Turkey knows full well that these claims by the lying, terrorist Zionist entity are baseless, and it is expected that Turkey does not remain silent against such inciting statements, as "Israel" has shown time and time again that it cannot be trusted.

Khatibzadeh reiterated that Iran's retaliation against the Israeli occupation's assassinations and sabotage will be decisive, capable, and does not threaten the security of civilians and the security of other countries. He also said that no one believes these farcical claims by this terrorist entity, noting that even if some parties feigned support for "Israel" based on some passing interest, they, however, know the true reality of this dangerous entity they are up against.

"Israel" and Turkey have reportedly begun working on restoring ambassador-level diplomatic representation, according to Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu on Thursday, as the two states attempt to end more than a decade of a strained relationship.
