Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani dismissed the charge that a member of Iran's Revolutionary Guard planned to assassinate John Bolton, a national security adviser to then-President Donald Trump.

“The US judicial authorities have raised the allegations without providing valid evidence and necessary documentation. Raising such allegations is in line with the failed Iranophobia policy,” Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kan’ani said.

“Such baseless claims are made with political motives through which the US seeks to evade responsibility for being accountable for many of its terrorist crimes,” he added.

On Wednesday, the US Department of Justice released a statement claiming that an Iranian citizen linking to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has been accused of attempting to assassinate John Bolton, former National Security Advisor of the United States. (ILKHA)
