This is while the MEHR News Agency affiliated with the Intelligence Ministry, quoting the Islamic Republic Aviation Company, implicitly admitted that this was only a set up and wrote: “The individual accused of the highjacking did not have anything (cold or warm weapon) in his possession, and it seems that the act was due to his mental disorder.”
With these contradictory and ridiculous reports, it appears that it is the Iranian regime that is suffering from disorder caused by succession of international support for Ashraf. One of the regime’s officials, Shahriari, who is a member of the parliament’s Security and Foreign Relations Committee protested yesterday to US and European support for the PMOI “as a dead group” saying, “This forgotten group must not be reborn with such news coverage. We should not at all speak about these issues, since these kinds of American conspiracies, as in the past, will lead to nowhere.”
