Iran has rejected allegations that a ship seized in Yemen belongs to the Islamic Republic, Mehr news agency reported. Iran's U.N. Ambassador Mohammad Khazaee wrote a letter, accoridng to which, all allegations against Iran being involved in the case, are baseless.
"There is no evidence that can prove any of this. The seized ship does not belong to Iran, it was registered in a European country, and was sailing under Panama flag," Khazaee said in his letter, adding that there were also no Iranians on board of the ship.
| "Nope. Not one of ours. Have you tried the Zionists?" |
Iran has previously also denied its involvement in supplying Somalia with weapons, describing the charges as "absurd fabrications," according to a letter obtained by Reuters in February.
"Iran has never sent any weapons to Somalia, all of this is baseless allegations. Unfortunately, these charges towards Iran were expressed by a group related to the UN, without Iran's opinion, and it was later released by some media outlets," Khazaee wrote in the letter. |
