Iran summons Swiss envoy to protest ‘childish’ US election meddling claim

Iran summons the Swiss envoy, which is in charge of representing the United States in the Islamic Republic, in protest of US allegations of meddling in the country’s November 3 elections.

In a series of tweets, the Iranian foreign ministry calls the accusations “childish,” “hackneyed,” “baseless,” “fabricated,” “amateurish” and “deceitful.”

The ministry says Tehran doesn’t care whether Donald Trump or Joe Biden wins the vote.

It is not unlikely that the masterminds of such childish scenarios are seeking to distract the attentions and public opinion and foment suspicious provocations ahead of the elections.
