Iran foreign ministry says Trump assassination plot claim ‘totally unfounded’
Iran’s foreign ministry describes as “totally unfounded” US accusations of a plot by Tehran to assassinate president-elect Donald Trump.
The foreign ministry “rejects allegations that Iran is implicated in an assassination attempt targeting former or current American officials,” spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei says in a statement after US prosecutors announced charges over the alleged plot.
