Iran raps UK for ‘baseless’ claim on US base attack

Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Nasser Kanaani has called baseless the UK accusation after a US base attack in Jordan that Iran has been involved in operations of resistance groups in the region.

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Nasser Kanaani has called baseless the UK accusation after a US base attack in Jordan that Iran has been involved in operations of resistance groups in the region.

Kanaani lashed out at British Foreign Secretary David Cameron for his anti-Tehran rhetoric and unfounded claims.

“These claims are made with specific political goals to reverse the realities of the region and also indicate that they are influenced by third parties, including the child-killing Zionist regime”, Kanaani noted.

Reactions came after Cameron published a message on X social network, in which, he condemned the drone attack on an American base in Jordan but reiterated that Iran is involved in operations of resistance forces, a claim officials in the Islamic Republic have repeatedly called “baseless”.

“We still urge Iran to reduce tensions in the region”, Cameron added in his post.

This is while the Islamic Republic has always emphasized that it does not have any proxy group in the region.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman warned that the statements and non-constructive actions of some Western officials are threatening regional and international peace and stability

“As we have clearly stated before, the resistance groups in the region are responding the war crimes and genocide of the child-killing Zionist regime and that they do not take orders from the Islamic Republic of Iran. These groups decide and act based on their own principles and priorities as well as the interests of their country and people”, he underlined.

Kanaani advised the West to condemn the crimes of the occupying Israeli regime and work to facilitate humanitarian aid to Gaza rather than making baseless accusations against Iran.
