Kan'ani rejects US Pentagon's claim on Iran's involvement in drone attack on ship off India coast:
Regarding the claim of the US Ministry of Defense that attributed the drone attack on a commercial ship off the coast of India to Iran, he said that the accusations leveled by the US are endless, stressing that the US government is the main accomplice for Israeli war crimes against Gaza the Israeli attacks on Palestinians, adding that Washington has to bear responsibility for the Zionist regime war crimes.

UK in no position to accuse Iran of destabilizing region:
Kan'ani later pointed to the UK foreign secretary's accusations against Iran and said that London plays a major role in destabilizing the West Asia region and in no position to make claims against Tehran.
He added that the United Kingdom is not legally and morally in a position to level accusations against Iran and other regional states.
The Israeli regime’s officials have named UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron as their best friend; thus, the UK and this politician say things that the Israeli regime expects them to.
Regarding the Gaza aggression, the UK is considered an accomplice, he said, arguing that the role of the European country in establishing the fake regime and providing it, which is the most hated terrorist entity in the region, with unlimited support, as well as London’s stance in the last two months are examples of ignoring their responsibility, so they should be held to account for their past and recent wrongdoings.

This Iranian diplomat added that Iran objects to the decision of the Swedish Court and what has happened during the long period of imprisonment of this Iranian citizen, adding that Hamid Nouri has been deprived of basic rights in Swedish prisons.
