Iran rejects 'unfounded accusations' by Lebanon's Hariri

Iran today rejected "unfounded accusations" by Saad Hariri, who resigned as Lebanon's prime minister citing Tehran's "grip" on his country and threats to his life.
Hariri's "repetition of unreal and baseless accusations... against Iran show that the resignation is designed to create tensions in Lebanon and in the region," Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Bahram Ghassemi said.
