Tehran - Saba:
The President of the Islamic Republic of Iran on Wednesday rejected the allegations of the Zionist entity and some countries about Tehran's attempt to assassinate US President-elect Trump.
What is being said about the conspiracy against Trump is a plan by Israel and other countries to expand hostility against Iran, President Masoud Pezeshkian said in an interview with the American NBC News network.
"Iran did not have any plan to assassinate anyone, we did not try to assassinate Trump and we will never do so," he added.
Asked about whether Tehran would pledge not to carry out any assassination attempts on Trump, the Iranian president said "We have not done this from the beginning and we will never do it."
