'Zionists behind US anti-Iran claim'

Saudi Ambassador to the United States Adel al-Jubeir
The Zionist lobby has undeniably influenced the United States in accusing Iran of plotting to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to Washington, a political analyst tells Press TV.
"Regardless of the impertinence and hollowness of the claim, one should not disregard the influence of the powerful Zionist lobby in the new mudslinging plan," Ismail Salami told Press TV on Wednesday.
The political analyst went on to say that the move is part of a US ploy that seeks to "demonize" the Islamic Republic of Iran.
On Tuesday, the US Justice Department accused Iran of involvement in a plot to assassinate Saudi Arabian Ambassador to Washington Adel Al-Jubeir with help from a suspected member of a Mexican drug cartel.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called upon other nations on Wednesday to join the US in "condemning this threat to international peace and security."
Salami described the remarks made by Clinton as comments that sought to enhance "Iranophobia" in the world.
The latest accusations come as the United States and its staunch ally, Israel, have devised numerous anti-Iran plots over the past years, including targeted assassination of Iranian scientists.
Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty has admitted the Western-hatched plots in Iran, praising the US government for its "good works" in assassinating Iranian scientists, Salami pointed out.
The analyst further explained that the US officials will now try to use the allegation to press for new international sanctions against the Islamic Republic.
Referring to the history of covert US and Israeli plots in Iran, Salami pointed out that the US government has committed unforgettable acts of terror against the Iranian nation throughout the past decades.
