Iran's Noor News Denies Israeli Report on Arrest of Iranian Agent

The Iranian government site "Noor News" stated today, Friday, that "the Israeli report about thwarting an attack in Cyprus through the arrest of an Iranian agent is merely an attempt to cover up Israel's internal crisis." It added that "the Zionist regime is facing a deterioration in internal conditions and spoke of a failed operation that took place a year ago in Iran, where all its agents were arrested." Israel stated on Thursday that "the intelligence agency (Mossad) carried out an operation in Iran to capture the person suspected of being the main culprit in an Iranian plot to attack Israeli businessmen in Cyprus."
