Esmail Kowsari, member of Iran Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, noted on Wednesday that Israel’s charges of Iran’s complicity in blasts targeting its embassies in New Delhi and Tbilisi were false and ridiculous.
“The usurper Zionist regime [of Israel] levels such charges against the Islamic Republic of Iran…in order to somehow improve its image which is loathed throughout the world and to incriminate Iran with terrorism,” he added.
The lawmaker further stated that Iran is a major victim of terrorism where several thousands of people, from the president to ordinary people, have been killed by terrorists.
“Therefore, the Islamic Republic of Iran will definitely never embark on such acts of terrorism,” he said.
On Monday, February 13, Israel’s embassies in India and Georgia were targeted by bomb attacks, with one bomb going off in New Delhi, injuring two people, and the second device in Tbilisi defused.
In New Delhi, the wife of an Israeli diplomat was injured when an embassy car exploded. The woman succeeded in getting to the Israeli embassy before she was transferred to a nearby hospital. The Israeli ambassador to India was not hurt in the New Delhi attack.
In the second attack, a Georgian national working for the Israeli embassy in the capital city of Tbilisi discovered a bomb underneath his car during his drive to the embassy. The bomb was defused before exploding.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused Iran and the Lebanese Hezbollah of orchestrating the attacks.
