Iran condemns Bangkok blasts

TEHRAN - Iran's foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast on Wednesday condemned Bangkok blasts.

Mehmanparast rejected the accusations levelled at Iran by Israel and denied any links with the Bangkok blasts on Tuesday, according to the Iranian Foreign Ministry website.

According to the reports, in an explosion in Bangkok on Tuesday an Iranian suspect had his legs blown off while he tried to throw a grenade at the Thai police.

On Tuesday, Israel accused Iran of being involved in the "terrorist act" and said that "the United Nations is now " in one of its crucial moments to try to implement its mandate by stopping the nuclear program of Iran," which insists its program is for "peaceful" purposes.

On Wednesday, Mehmanparast also accused the "elements of the Zionist regime (of Israel) as responsible for this crime."
