Accusing Iran of supporting terrorism is distortion of truth and fully based on double standards, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham said here on Thursday.
Rejecting the US State Department’s annual global report on terrorism published Wednesday, she reiterated that Iran, itself, has been a victim of terrorism in the past three decades and the baseless claims regarding Iran’s support for terrorism is politically motivated.
Presence and free activities of terrorists in the United States who assassinated over 15,000 Iranian civilians including senior officials as well as use of drones in massacring innocent regional people and Washington’s inaction towards Zionists crimes against defenseless Palestinians pose serious questions about the US claims of campaign against terrorism.
Such a move threatens international peace and security, she reiterated.
