Iran slams report linking it with blast near Israel embassy
The Hindu
The Iranian embassy denied any connection between the Quds Force, an arm of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), and the Improvised Explosive Device (IED) blast outside the Israeli embassy in Delhi in January.
In an official statement on Monday, the embassy “strongly repudiated” the allegation carried in a news report that suggested that the National Investigation Authority (NIA) had “concluded” that the attack on January 29 had been carried out by an Indian proxy group on the orders of the Quds force, in retaliation for the deaths by U.S. drone of Quds force Chief General Qasem Soleimani and top nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh last year.
