| Iran dismisses Kuwait spying claims |
| 2011-04-27 |
| [Iran Press TV] Iran's Foreign Ministry has expressed "deep sorrows" over remarks by Kuwaiti officials, accusing Tehran of spying and meddling in the affairs of regional states. Earlier, Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Muhammad al-Sabah accused Iranian officials of having connections with an alleged spy cell operating in the Arab country. The Kuwaiti minister also accused the Islamic Theocratic Republicof interference in other countries' internal affairs. "In our opinion, the remarks by the Kuwaiti foreign minister is not deemed as in line with the interests of [the countries in the] region," Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast was quoted as saying in a Tuesday blurb. "Our expectation is that officials in the region avoid any hasty remarks that will not help solve regional problems, and adopt an insightful and wise policy," he urged. In March, Kuwaiti judiciary officials repeated earlier claims of having dismantled what they called an Iranian spy cell. The allegation was dismissed by the Iranian Foreign Ministry as "irresponsible." Tehran also raised questions about the goals Kuwait was pursuing by renewing the allegations they had first made in 2010 but subsequently withdrew upon protests by Iranian officials. |
