“The sanctions regime has reached the finish line,” wrote Iranian Parliamentary Director General for International Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian in a tweet on Thursday.
He added that the US’ second batch of anti-Iran sanctions, due on Nov. 5, will be nothing but an attempt at “psychological sanctions”.
He then referred to the role of Mossad in providing Denmark with false information about a supposed 'assassination plot' that was blamed on Iran, adding “Zionists’ planting of false flag in Denmark against Tehran-EU ties, and Tel Aviv’s attempt to undermine Iran’s economy will not go unanswered.”
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif had also reacted to the role of Israel's spy agency Mossad in anti-Iran scenarios, saying “Mossad's perverse & stubborn planting of false flags” will only strengthen Iran’s resolve to engage constructively with the world.
Iran has strongly rejected the allegation of its involvement in the supposed plot, saying it is “in line with the conspiracies and plots of the enemies of Iran who cannot stand the good and growing relations between Iran and Europe in the current special situation.”
Meanwhile, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ghasemi said that Iran is ready to probe closely into the case if there is goodwill on the Danish side.
He went on to censure Denmark, however, for accusing Iran without first providing any evidence or holding a trial, saying such a move is against friendly ties and all known legal and judicial regulations.
