Iran: US in weakest position ever

Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast says the United States is in its weakest position ever and that Washington’s allegations against Tehran are indicative of its helplessness.

With its fabricated, baseless and childish accusations against Iran, the United States has shown its helplessness with regard to its policies, Mehmanparast said at the Kazan Federal University of Tatarstan in Russia.

On Tuesday, the US Justice Department accused Iran of involvement in a plot to assassinate Saudi Ambassador to Washington Adel Al-Jubeir with help from a suspected member of a Mexican drug cartel.

They (the Americans) say they have arrested an Iranian national and that individual has confessed, Mehmanparast said, adding that this new anti-Iran plot is more “like Hollywood movies.”

Iran has categorically denied the accusation, saying the recent US plot allegation is a “ludicrous” claim based on the joint US-israel posture against the Islamic Republic.

Referring to the growing “Occupy Wall Street” protests in the US, Mehmanparast said that the American public demands that the US government address the internal problems of the country.

Anti-corporatism protests against corporate and banking corruption, poverty and social inequity erupted in New York about four weeks ago and then spread across the entire US.

The movement has now hit many other countries worldwide, including the European Union member states which have been severely affected by the bloc’s ongoing financial crisis.
