Zarif: Mossad False Flags Encourage Iran to Boost Ties with World

Local Editor

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said the “Israeli” Mossad spy agency’s “false flags” will fail to hurt Tehran’s ties with the world, referring to the agency’s role in a diplomatic row between Iran and Denmark.

In a tweet from Pakistan on Wednesday, Zarif said, “Mossad’s perverse & stubborn planting of false flags [more on this later] only strengthens our resolve to engage constructively with the world.”

Following his trilateral talks in Istanbul with his Azeri and Turkish opposite numbers, Zarif further praised the Islamic Republic’s “solid relations” with its neighbors.

“Solid relations w/neighbors our priority,” Zarif said in the tweet, which also carried photos of his meetings in Turkey and Pakistan.

The tweet came amid a diplomatic standoff between Tehran and Copenhagen over the latter’s claims that Iran had tried to carry out an assassination plot on Danish soil, an allegation Tehran has sharply rejected.

Swedish security police also said a Norwegian citizen of Iranian descent had been arrested on October 21 in connection with the alleged plot and extradited to Denmark.

Denmark recalled its ambassador from Tehran and said that it was consulting with other European countries about how to respond.

Tehran also summoned the Danish ambassador to Tehran to voice its protest.

Israeli media later revealed that Mossad had provided Denmark with “intelligence” concerning the alleged plot by Tehran.
