TEHRAN -- The Iranian government wrote a letter to Washington seeking an apology for allegations that Iran backed a plot to assassinate Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the U.S. on American soil, a spokesman said Tuesday.
"A letter has been sent ... It is our right
to seek the official apology of the Americans in protest of this made-up
scenario, as these allegations are not true at all," foreign ministry
spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said at a news conference, quoted by the
IRNA news agency.
