Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanani this morning dismissed as “baseless” the US accusation about Iran’s involvement in yesterday’s drone attack on the US base in Jordan.
Kanani insisted that Iran was “not involved in the decision making of Resistance groups” in how they chose to “defend Palestinians or their own countries”. Tehran refers to its networks of proxies and allied groups in the region as the “Axis of Resistance”.
Joe Biden has said that the attack was carried out by “radical Iran-backed militant groups”.
Earlier, a spokesperson of Iran’s UN mission said Iran had “nothing to do with the attacks in question”, adding “the conflict has been initiated by the US military against resistance groups in Iraq and Syria, and such operations are reciprocal between them”.
Ultra-conservative daily newspaper Keyhan praised “the busy day of the Iraqi Resistance” with “eight attacks” on US and Israeli targets in “less than 24 hours”.
