TEHRAN -- Recent reports claiming that the Mossad spy agency had questioned a member of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) inside Iran are futile attempts by the occupying regime of Israel to distract attention from its atrocities against Palestinians, an outlet affiliated to Iran’s top security body says.
Israeli media claimed on Saturday that the Mossad had detained and questioned a member of the IRGC in Iran about his alleged involvement in an attempt to assassinate a Zionist diplomat in Turkey.
They claimed that the IRGC member admitted to Mossad agents during an interrogation at his home in Iran that he was sent to target the Israeli diplomat, as well as an American general stationed in Germany and a journalist in France.
“The Zionist regime cannot stir up media frenzy and employ overused methods to divert public attention away from its security gaps within the occupied territories, which reveal a new page of the inefficiency of the regime’s intelligence-security apparatus, and the obvious capability of the Resistance Front in various dimensions,” Nour News affiliated to Iran’s Supreme National Security Council said.
The Israeli media reports published an audio recording claimed to be of the IRGC member who is purportedly seen saying: “We will assassinate these three for the Islamic Republic. They insisted this would be carried out.”
However, the reports which received extensive coverage by the BBC Persian, provided no source for the audio recording.
The fake news sq uandered what was left of the BBC Persian’s so-called credibility, Nour News said.
The fabrications are “clumsy attempts to distract public attention and reduce internal pressures against the fictitious Zionist regime,” it said.
The Israeli plot, promoted by the BBC Persian, comes at a time when the regime in Tel Aviv is under intensified pressure from world public opinion over its crimes against Palestinians.
Zionist forces intensified their deadly attacks against Palestinians, particularly at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in the Old City of occupied Al-Quds, with the beginning of the holy Muslim fasting month of Ramadan a month ago.
Troops repeatedly attacked Palestinian worshipers at the mosque, as they gathered for prayers during Ramadan.
The desecration of Al-Aqsa Mosque has drawn widespread condemnation, with Palestinian resistance groups promising a firm response.
“Thousands of synagogues will be desecrated if the Zionist acts of storming Al-Aqsa Mosque recur,” Yahya Sinwar, the leader of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, said in a warning to the Zionist regime on Saturday.
