Iran denies to have bought Israeli weapons

Iranian official Ayatullah Hashimi Rafsanjani has described seizing an Israeli ship in the German port of Hamburg, which is claimed to carry weapons to Iran as a provocation by the "enemies of the Islamic revolution in Iran." In a speech he delivered on Friday before a crowd of Iranians, Rafsanjani added "the enemies of the revolution whenever they have the chance to provoke unrest against us have to know we do not lack military weapons so as we buy it from Israel."

He indicated that the Americans invested the issue of terrorism as a pretext to raise war and control the world and they have magnified this matter in order to launch an attack against the Islamic states and Muslims. He refuted the American claims against Iraq.
