Iran rejects false UK media claims on plot to harm presenters
Iran’s chargé d'affaires in London has refuted accusations by the British media regarding an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate two international television presenters living in London.
MEHR: Iran’s chargé d'affaires in London has refuted accusations by the British media regarding an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate two international television presenters living in London.
In a post on X on Friday, Seyyed Mehdi Hosseini Matin rejected the claim by ITV News as baseless, likening it to a Hollywood movie scenario.
ITV News earlier published a report alleging that the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) had approached a human trafficker in October 2022, offering $200,000 to assassinate two international presenters in London.
However, the report alleged that the hired individual was a double agent working with a Western intelligence organization and exposed the conspiracy.
Regardless of the undeniable violent and destructive activities of this so-called television network in England against Iran's national security, we also deny any connection with those who have made these allegations, Matin said.
