No Al-Qaeda members in Iran, Tehran says
TEHRAN, Dec. 29 (MNA) -- The Iranian Foreign Ministry rejected reports by certain Western media outlets claiming that members of the terrorist group Al-Qaeda are hiding in Iran.
Such claims are part of an old scenario, which is meant to promote Iranophobia in the region, Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said during his weekly press briefing on Tuesday.
Mehmanparast stated that Iran is one of the victims of terrorism and would never compromise with terrorists and would never provide a safe haven for them.
Terrorist groups are operating in the region, with the support of the West, but extremism and terrorism can only be eradicated in the region through a regional solution, he added.
