Israel should be held accountable for death of Iranian national
TEHRAN, Jan. 5 (MNA) -- Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ramin Mehmanparast said there are reports indicating that Iranian citizen Ali-Reza Asgari has been killed in an Israeli prison and added that the Zionist regime should be held accountable in the case.
Asgari, a former Iranian deputy defense minister, mysteriously disappeared in 2007 while on a trip to Turkey. It is believed that he was abducted and transferred to Israel.
The Foreign Ministry spokesman stated that Iran and Turkey are currently working together to discover clues about the fate of Asgari.
Mehmanparast said even some Israeli media outlets have officially confirmed that Asgari had been detained in Israel.
The Zionist regime is responsible for Asgari’s safety, he said, adding that Iran’s Foreign Ministry is pursuing the case through “legal and political” channels.
