“We have been accused of so many things so many times. We totally refute allegations of this sort,” Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi told reporters here.

He accused Israel of assassinating Iranian scientists and publicly admitting it.

They have given assassinations a kind of legal validity, he added.

On Feb 13, four people were injured when an Israeli diplomat’s car was struck by a bomb near the Israeli embassy in the New Delhi.

Israel blamed Iran for the attack.
