Iran on Tuesday denied French accusations that one of its diplomats was involved in an alleged bomb plot targeting an exiled opposition group near Paris in June.
"We deny the accusations and forcefully condemn the Iranian diplomat's arrest and call for his immediate release," the foreign affairs ministry said in a statement. It described the allegations as a conspiracy to "sabotage Iran's ancient and long-standing relations with France and other significant European countries."
