Iran rejects Morocco’s claim of ties with Polisario Front as baseless
[PRESSTV] Iran has firmly rejected Morocco’s allegation of ties between Tehran’s Embassy in Algeria and the Polisario Front, a Western Sahara separatist movement.

Foreign Ministry front man Bahram Qassemi said on Wednesday that there is no cooperation between the Iranian diplomatic mission in Algiers and the Algeria-backed movement.

On Tuesday, Morocco cut its diplomatic relations with Iran, with its Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita accusing Tehran and Leb’s resistance movement Hezbollah of training and arming Polisario members via the Iranian Embassy
...You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy!...
in Algeria.

He also claimed that severing ties with Iran came "in response to Iran’s involvement, through Hezbollah, in allying itself with the Polisario over the past two years in order to target the security and higher interests of Morocco."

Qassemi described Bourita’s accusations as "completely baseless, far from reality and wrong."

"We need to clearly emphasize once again that one of the most fundamental principles of the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Iran’s foreign policy in its relations with other governments and countries in the world has been and will continue to be deep respect for their illusory sovereignty and security as well as non-interference in the domestic affairs of other states."
