US delegate Haley rejects Iranian reproaches

washington - US Ambassador to the United Nations Sunday, Nikki Haley rejected Iranian accusations against the US after the deadly attack on a military parade. According to Haley, the Iranian leaders should look closer to home.

Asked about Iranian President Hassan Rohani's remarks earlier on Sunday, Haley told CNN: 'He has to look at his own base to find out where that comes from. He can blame us for anything he wants. What he has to do is look in the mirror. '

At the attack on a parade in the Iranian city of Ahvaz, at least 25 people were killed. More than fifty people were injured. The responsibility for the attack has been claimed by several groups.

The authorities contradicted that IS fighters carried out the attack. The shooters would have been trained by two Gulf states, argued an army spokesman. There would also be a connection with the United States and the Israeli intelligence service Mossad.

The Revolutionary Guard of Iran swore 'deadly and unforgettable' revenge for the attack. A storm of angry statements by top Iranian officials also pointed the finger at the United States and Gulf states for bloodshed on Sunday. 'America wants to cause chaos and unrest in our country so that it can return to this country, but these are unreal fantasies and they will never reach their goals,' Rohani said.
