Iran denies involvement in drone attack on Netanyahu’s residence

TEHRAN, Oct. 20 (YPA) – The Iranian Foreign Ministry has denied involvement in Saturday’s drone launch toward Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s home in Caesaria.

Reacting to the Israeli prime minister’s allegations, Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmail Baghaei said that the Zionist regime has been founded on the basis of spreading lies and distorting facts.

“The Zionist regime has been formed on the basis of lies and distortion of facts. Spreading lies is the current and permanent practice of this regime and its criminal leaders”, the spokesman told IRNA.

Additionally, Iran’s mission to the United Nations denied any connection to the drone attack targeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s residence.

The mission stated in a comment to the Wall Street Journal that “the drone attack on Netanyahu’s residence was carried out by Hezbollah.”

The mission made the comment on Saturday in response to a question, after Netanyahu attributed the attack carried out earlier in the day to “the agents of Iran”.

“We have already responded to the Israeli regime, and the action in question has been carried out by Hezbollah in Lebanon”, the Iranian mission said.
