"Israeli media fabricates news against Iranian diplomat in Uruguay"
Iran rejects an Israeli media report that links one of its diplomats to a fake bomb incident in the Uruguayan capital.
The Iranian Embassy in Montevideo says publishing a false report against one of its diplomats aims to create Iranophobia. The embassy stressed that the move is aimed at damaging the international image of Iran. On January eight, police discovered an object suggestive of a bomb near the new Israeli Embassy in Montevideo. Following this, the Israelis published a false report, blaming Iran for the incident. On Friday, the Uruguayan government rejected the accusation by Israeli media. Tehran has noted that in the past, Tel Aviv has ordered attacks against its own embassies in India and Georgia, and blame them on Tehran, in order to tarnish Iran's image in the host countries.
