US Claims Against Functioning of Embassies Denied

Iran dismissed US allegations that its embassies are used to plot attacks, saying that the "unfounded" and "ludicrous" claims are part of a psychological campaign. 
"The embassies of the Islamic Republic function within the framework of international law and bilateral ties in the host countries with the aim of expanding friendly relations," Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qasemi said in a statement late on Wednesday. 
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo claimed on Tuesday that Tehran is using its diplomatic missions in Europe as cover to plot terrorist attacks.
