US Activist Calls Washington's Accusations against Iran "Hollywood Fiction"

TEHRAN (FNA)- A prominent American anti-war activist rejected the US accusations that Iran plotted to assassinate a Saudi envoy to Washington, saying that the allegations are good for producing a Hollywood fiction.
"I believe that statements raised by the US administration are suspicious and fabricated," Head of the anti-war Answer Coalition Brian Becker told FNA on Tuesday.

"I believe this is a move to start a new level of confrontation with Iran," he stated.

He dismissed the claims about Iran's potential motivation for assassinating the Saudi envoy to Washington, and noted, "Everyone in the world knows that the US intends to push Iran into isolation and instability through economic sanctions, clandestine operations and cyber attacks."

He described the US move as a "fabrication and a plot" aimed at imposing greater pressures on Tehran.

"This development is definitely similar to a Hollywood fiction, which is incredible because of its bad scenario," Baker noted.

Last evening, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast dismissed the US allegations as a prefabricated scenario which is totally unfounded.

"Such worn-out approaches which are based on the old hostile policies of the American-Zionist axis are a humorous act and part of the special scenarios staged and pursued by the enemies of Islam and the region to sow discord (among Muslims)," Mehman-Parast said.

The spokesman, who condemned all terrorist attacks, further said, "Those who have worked out such prefabricated scenarios are after no goal but fomenting strife (among Muslims) and helping the Zionist regime to come out of isolation."

"The Islamic Republic of Iran is a ruling system based on Islamic values and ethics and has always warned of the danger of the enemies of the region.

"Such redundant scenarios are staged by the American-Zionist axis under such conditions that the US policies both inside and outside the region have proved seriously inefficient and faced massive domestic and global protests."

To conclude his remarks, the Iranian foreign ministry spokesman underlined that the relations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and Saudi Arab are based on mutual respect and such unreal and unfounded allegations would leave no impact on the world public opinion.

FBI and DEA agents alleged on Tuesday that they have disrupted a plot to commit a "significant terrorist act in the United States" tied to Iran, federal officials told ABC News today.

The US officials claimed that the plot included the assassination of the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the United States, Adel Al-Jubeir, with a bomb and subsequent bomb attacks on the Saudi and Israeli embassies in Washington, D.C. Bombings of the Saudi and Israeli embassies in Buenos Aires, Argentina, were also discussed, according to the US officials.

US Attorney General Eric Holder claimed in an announcement today that the plan was "conceived, sponsored and was directed from Iran" by a faction of the government and called it a "flagrant" violation of US and international law.

Shortly after Holder publicly announced the foiled plot, the US Treasury announced it was initiating sanctions against five people allegedly connected to the plot.
