Embassy in Denmark Denounces West’s ‘Ridiculous’ Accusations
TEHRAN — The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Denmark strongly rejected recent Western allegations accusing Iran of extraterritorial interference against dissidents, journalists, and officials, calling the claims “baseless and politically motivated.”
In a joint statement Thursday, Albania, Austria, Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, the UK, and the U.S. accused Iranian intelligence of attempts to “kill, kidnap, and harass” individuals in Europe and North America. Iran dismissed these accusations as “completely false” and lacking credible evidence.
The embassy emphasized Iran’s respect for international law, sovereignty, and non-interference, urging accusers to present verifiable proof instead of speculation.
It highlighted concerns over Western countries harboring terrorist groups targeting Iran, citing Denmark’s failure to prosecute members of the Arab Struggle Movement for the Liberation of Ahvaz (ASMLA) involved in the 2018 deadly attack on an Iranian military parade.
The statement also criticized Albania for sheltering the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) terrorist group, which it described as conducting sabotage and hybrid warfare against Iran with Western support.
Pointing to recent attacks by Jaish al-Adl terrorists that killed Iranian security personnel and civilians, the embassy called on nations to act honestly and consistently against terrorism and reject double standards.
