Tehran, YJC. Foreign Ministry Spokesman has said that Iran has dispatched no diplomatic group to Egypt in the wake of recent developments.
Seyyed Abbas Araqchi said in an interview with the Khaneye
Mellat’s political service regarding the Egyptian Minister of Foreign Affairs’
statement on Iran’s intervention with the country’s internal affairs "Iran’s
position on Egypt is clear. The two statements made by the Egyptian Ministry of
Foreign Affairs were due to some misunderstanding.”
The Spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic
Republic of Iran asserted "The reaction adopted by the Spokesman of the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Egypt stems from a misunderstanding of the
positions of the Islamic Republic.”
He also denied the news of a delegation being sent by the Islamic
Republic of Iran’s Supreme Council of National Security and Foreign Policy to
hold negotiations with Egyptian politicians and said "There has been no
negotiation by our Supreme Council of National Security with Egyptian officials
on the fate of Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood. There has been no delegation
representing the council which has been sent to Egypt, let alone it being taken
back. The news is refuted.”
