(MENAFN) Iran's Foreign Ministry's spokesman commented to the Saudi Crown Prince's accusations against Iran with regard to terrorism saying that Mohammed Bin Salman claims on Iran are 'big lies.'
Bin Salman, who is also serving as Saudi Arabia's Defense Minister, in an interview with American television CBS on Sunday, claimed that Iran has been harboring terrorists, such as leaders of Al-Qaeda, IRNA reported.
'Bin Salman's claims on Iran hosting Al-Qaeda's leaders is a big lie, 'Bahram Qasemi said, adding that he cannot deny the role of Saudi rulers and government in creating and propping up contemporary history and in terrorist tragedies such as 9/11 by spreading awkward lies.'
'Bin Salman in his visit to the US is heinously trying to pave the way for his coronation by any means, but it seems that pouring the hundreds of billions of dollars of the Saudi people into the arms industry of the US has not served the purpose, and he is now trying to purge the proved records of current rulers of Saudi Arabia on supporting terrorism and extremism,' he said.
But he proved in his recent interview that he is an awkward liar who misunderstands things, to the extent that he does not know his own country's history, Qasemi said.
