Iran's Rebuttal In a swift and pointed response, the Iranian Ambassador to Nigeria, Gholamreza Mahdavi, dismissed the claims as "unfounded propaganda" designed to deflect international attention from Israel's own military actions in the Middle East. The Iranian mission in Abuja issued a statement describing the allegations as a strategic smokescreen. Mahdavi countered that Israel has a documented history of "state terrorism," citing the assassination of scientists and political figures on foreign soil. He maintained that Iran's engagement with Nigeria remains "transparent and legitimate," centered on trade, education, and healthcare.
