Israel Bid to Divert Attention From Its Naval Terrorism Futile

The Israeli regime cannot divert attention away from its acts of naval terrorism by leveling unproven accusations against Iran of destabilizing activity, Iran’s deputy UN envoy said.
Zahra Ershadi made the remarks at a UN Security Council meeting held to address the issue of naval security, IRNA reported.
“Such accusations can, in no way, cover up the Israeli regime’s [own] acts of terrorism against commercial naval navigation. Over less than two years, the regime [itself] has attacked more than 10 commercial vessels carrying oil or humanitarian goods in regional waters,” she said.
The remarks came after the regime accused the Islamic Republic of an attack on an Israeli oil tanker off the coast of Oman without providing any evidence in support of the claim. Its traditional allies, the United States and the UK, however, strongly backed up its accusations.
Ershadi called the comments that had been made on the part of American and British officials in support of the Israeli claim “unfounded accusations” and “remarks that had been made based on political ill will.”
“These accusations are repetition of the Israeli regime’s factitious claims,” she said, adding, “There are no verifiable and definite evidence that could substantiate them.”
She reminded that it was the very American and British military interference in the region that had constantly acted as the source insecurity and instability here.
The false news and sham propogandist operations such as the one that had targeted Iran were seeking to justify either the unacceptable extra-regional presence or potential attacks on regional countries, noted the diplomat.
“What they are seeking to depict as definite evidence [of Iran’s alleged involvement in the attack on the tanker] is just a couple of pictures that do not prove anything,” Ershadi stated.
