Head of Iran Interest Section in Egypt Mojtaba Amani, while criticizing Saudi Arabian government, accused Saudi ambassador to Cairo of lying. 
  
In an interview with Egyptian Newspaper “Al-Youm” that would be published today, Amani said that certain sections of media that are dependent on Saudi Arabia are disseminating fake accusations against Iran. He added sources of these accusations are always unknown and their inaccuracy is always proved later.

He underlined that Saudi envoy and government tell lies and Saudi attaché in Cairo has claimed that Iran has tried to assassinate Saudi ambassador in Cairo and two Iranians have been arrested in this concern, but Egyptian officials denied the claim later.

Amani added whatever has been published about the arrest of two Iranians is not true and no Iranian citizen has been accused or arrested in Egypt, but  unfortunately, the accusations, in spite of Egypt's denial, are repeated again and again.

The Iranian official continued that the accusation against Iran to help weapon smuggling from Libya to the Egyptian Sinai Peninsula is baseless and this is an effort of Saudi government with the aim of entering Iran’s name in the crisis of relations between Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

He underlined that Tehran does not interfere in such issues. “Saudi Arabia had better solve its problems with Egypt instead of accusing others,” said the Iranian official.
