Iran rejects allegations on ship seized in Yemen belongs to the country
Iran has rejected allegations that a ship seized in Yemen
belongs to the Islamic Republic, Mehr news agency reported.
Iran's U.N. Ambassador Mohammad Khazaee wrote a letter, according
to which, all allegations against Iran being involved in the case,
are baseless.
"There is no evidence that can prove any of this. The seized ship
does not belong to Iran, it was registered in a European country,
and was sailing under Panama flag," Khazaee said in his letter,
adding that there were also no Iranians on board of the ship.
Iran has previously also denied its involvement in supplying
Somalia with weapons, describing the charges as "absurd
fabrications," according to a letter obtained by Reuters in
February.
"Iran has never sent any weapons to Somalia, all of this is
baseless allegations. Unfortunately, these charges towards Iran
were expressed by a group related to the UN, without Iran's
opinion, and it was later released by some media outlets," Khazaee
wrote in the letter.
