Iran is rejecting Jordanian state media reports that a suspect arrested in Jordan for allegedly planning attacks against the kingdom had ties to an Iranian group, AP reported Tuesday.
General Ramazan Sharif, spokesman for Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, described the reports as “baseless.”
According to Jordanian state media, security forces also seized 45 kilograms of explosives following the arrest of the suspect, who is reported to have ties to the Beit al-Maqdis Iranian group.
Sharif dismissed the allegations as part of “phobia and propaganda” against Iran, comparing it to “past claims” by other countries, AP reported.
