TEHRAN, Apr. 07 (MNA) – Iranian FM spokesman Bahram Ghasemi rejected the news that Iranian diplomats had left Damascus and described the news piece a sheer lie.

The spokesman of Iran’s ministry of foreign affairs rejected the claims of some news outlets as he described them biased and purposeful.

“The claims that Iranian diplomats and their families have left Damascus after the US missile attack to a Syrian air base is fundamentally false and it is a lie,” reiterated Bahram Ghasemi on Friday. “All of the personnel of Iran’s embassy to Damascus are busy doing their daily routines as usual.”
