Iranian envoy at the United Nations accused the Zionist entity over a bomb attack that targeted Israeli tourists in Bulgaria last week.

The envoy Mohammad Khazaee said the Zionsit entity staged the attack as part of a campaign of "state terrorism operations and assassinations aimed at implicating others for narrow political gains."
Khazaee said "the representative of the Zionist criminal regime leveled baseless allegations against my country" over the Bulgaria attack.

Iran would never take part in such a "despicable attempt on the lives of innocent people," he added.
"Such (a) terrorist operation could only be planned and carried out by the same regime whose short history is full of state terrorism operations and assassinations aimed at implicating others for narrow political gains," Khazaee told UN Security Council debate on the Middle East.

The Iranian envoy said there were "many examples" of Israel killing innocent Jewish people and renewed accusations that the Zionist entity has been behind recent killings of Iranian nuclear scientists.

The attack last week in Bulgaria killed five Israelis and their Bulgarian driver.

For his part, the Israeli envoy at the UN stressed his government's accusations against the Islamic Republic.
"These comments are appalling, but not surprising from the same government that says the 9/11 attack was a conspiracy theory and denies the Holocaust," Haim Waxman told the council.

"Iran's fingerprints are all over last week's horrific attack in Bulgaria -- and in dozens of other terrorist plots in recent months that span five continents and at least 24 countries," he said.
