Iran Denies Sending Troops to Lebanese, Palestinian BordersIran on Tuesday denied reports on deployment of its troops along the Lebanese and Palestinian borders, saying that it was "sheer lies" by Israel.The reports carried by Israeli papers were "utter fabrication and were meant to create tension, invent excuses for fresh clashes in the region, and intensify Israeli aggressions against the Palestinians," Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi told the official IRNA news agency. Earlier on Sunday, Israel also accused Iran of boosting support for Palestinian radical Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and the Islamic Jihad (Holy War). "The Zionist regime (Israel) and its supporters feel frustrated at the continuing Palestinian intifada (uprising) and despite their carnage of innocent Palestinians, their predictions have proved to be wrong," Asefi said. The publication of false news would never tempt the Palestinians, Lebanese and Syrians to think twice about their resolve to secure their denied rights, he added. |
