Iran rejected a report that its Revolutionary Guard Corps may attack the U.S. embassy or American consulates in neighboring Turkey, the state-run Mehr news agency said, citing the Iranian embassy in Ankara.

“The Zionists and interventionist governments are not happy about close relations between the two brotherly countries of Iran and Turkey, and therefore have been sparing no efforts to create tension in their relations,” according to a statement released yesterday by the Iranian embassy. Iran is itself “one of the victims of terrorism.”
