Iranian Intelligence Minister Rebuts US Accusation Point by Point http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=9007270191 Moslehi said the US allegations - involving an Iranian-American used car salesman trying to contract Mexican gangsters to kill the Saudi ambassador to Washington - were "too cheap to believe." His point-by-point rebuttal of the US claims added to strenuous denials from other Iranian officials that Tehran had anything to do with the alleged plot. "The initial reaction to this claim by our intelligence officers was genuine surprise at the abundance of stupidity evident in this scenario," he said. Moslehi, dismissed the American allegations, saying no professional intelligence agency would issue orders to an agent in a foreign country over the phone or transfer money to drug cartels through a New York bank.He added, "Also, technically speaking, why would a Mexican drug cartel be used for such an operation? Why would they risk confrontation with the US over a job worth $1.5 million, while, according to the Westerners, the cartel has billions of dollars in revenue?" The minister also asked, "Why would this 'trained terrorist' and the professional cartel exchange money via a bank in New York?" Moslehi said "this low-quality comedy" scenario was all the evidence the United States was presenting to the UN Security Council. "When you probe the allegations from an intelligence perspective, you find major contradictions and shortcomings and you can't believe a government like the US... has ended up in a situation where it designs a foolish plot," he said. "Which court of law can accept such absurd claims as evidence?" Moslehi asked.
