US Unable to Whitewash General Soleimani's Assassination by False Stories

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kana'ani in a Twitter message underlined that making a fake story of a plot to assassinate former US national security advisor John Bolton will not help Washington whitewash its own crimes, specially the assassination of Iran's anti-terror commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani.

US Unable to Whitewash General Soleimani's Assassination by False Stories

MojNews_"Fabricating stories re a politically bankrupt element, a known terrorist & a coup plotter against independent states, is a US deceptive bid to scape from int'l responsibilities," the Iranian foreign ministry spokesman tweeted on Friday.

"Such fanfares won't whitewash US regime's image, but makes Iranians & the world more resentful of it, he added.

US authorities claimed on Wednesday that an Iranian operative was plotting to assassinate Bolton in retaliation for the US terror operation that martyred Iran’s anti-terror commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani.

In response, Tehran dismissed Washington's charges as “ridiculous and baseless”.

"The spinning of these threadbare and baseless myths is becoming a recurring custom in the American judicial and propaganda system," Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kana'ani said on Wednesday.

"This time for scenario building, politically bankrupt and worthless elements like Bolton has been used to advance this process," he added.

"Such baseless claims are made with political motives and aims and in fact amount to forward escape, creating propaganda ruse and especially escaping the responsibility of responding to numerous terrorist crimes that the American government has either directly participated in, such as the cowardly assassination of General Martyr Soleimani, or like the terrorist crimes committed by the Zionist regime and terrorist groups like Daesh they have been committed with the support of America," the official stated.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran strongly warns against any action against Iranian citizens under the pretext of these ridiculous accusations and emphasizes that it reserves the right to take any action within the framework of international law to defend the rights of the government and citizens of the Islamic Republic of Iran," Kana'ani noted.
