Iran denies involvement in assassination attempt on Netanyahu

The Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the UN has dissociated itself from the assassination attempt on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “We are not involved in this. Hezbollah bears responsibility for the attack,” the diplomatic mission said.

Commenting on this statement, Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said: “The main and most loyal hireling, the tentacle of the octopus of terror that Iran created, financed, armed, trained and now controls in all its actions, is suddenly portrayed as an independent force. Your lies and pretense If they don’t help you, the responsibility is on you.”

Earlier, Netanyahu’s office confirmed that the drone was launched towards the Prime Minister’s residence. Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife were not in the building at that moment. There were no injuries as a result of the incident. For an unknown reason, the air raid alarm did not go off in the Caesarea area.
