Falsehood Ingrained in Israeli Regime: Iranian Spokesman


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Refuting the allegations made by Israel that Iran has been involved in a recent drone attack on Netanyahu’s residence, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said the Zionist regime is used to falsehood.

Asked about the claims that Iran has had a role in the drone attack on Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s private residence near Tel Aviv, Baqaei said on Saturday night, “The Zionist regime has been founded upon lies and distortion of facts.”

The Iranian spokesman added that spreading lies has become an ordinary and usual approach adopted by the Zionist regime and its “criminal leaders”.

A spokesman for the permanent mission of Iran at the United Nations in New York has told the Wall Street Journal that the “action in question has been carried out by Hezbollah in Lebanon."

Hours after the drone attack that targeted the residence of Netanyahu in the city of Caesarea, he issued a statement in which he said “the attempt by Iran’s proxy, Hezbollah, to assassinate me and my wife today was a grave mistake”.
