UNITED NATIONS : Iran has denied any role in attacks on Israeli diplomatic targets in Thailand and other countries, but accused Israel of assassinating its nuclear scientists as part of a "war game".

A letter sent by Iran's UN ambassador, Mohammad Khazaee, to the UN Security Council said Israel has been allowed to commit crimes against others with "impunity."

But the country "categorically rejects the allegations concerning any involvement of its officials or organs whatsoever in alleged recent terrorist operations against Israeli targets in a number of countries, namely Thailand, India, Georgia or Azerbaijan," the envoy's letter said.

If you actually read what this article is saying it in its self is propaganda. Please read it carefully before making judgements. We are ever closer to a country that has a huge offensive military and an economy that has serious long term problems.

Thailand: "Iran, are these your bombers...?"

Iran: "Israel is the bad guy..!!!"

Did anyone think that Iran would openly admit to this? This country must not be permitted to acquire nuclear weapons. Period.

The problem with Iran is that historically it has not shown to have any credibility. Don't know how it is different this time.

Did the Iran government confirm if those caught in Thailand traveling with Iranian passports were in fact Iranians?
