/ An informed Iranian diplomatic source denied, on Friday, what was published by the Wall Street Journal regarding the existence of intelligence cooperation between Washington and Tehran, especially regarding the terrorist attack in Kerman three weeks ago.
An informed security official told the official Iranian “IRNA” agency: “If there was a security message exchanged by the United States, it was with the aim of being safe from Iran’s response, especially after the Israeli war on Gaza.”
Yesterday, Thursday, the American Wall Street Journal quoted American officials as claiming that the United States secretly warned Iran that ISIS was preparing to carry out a “terrorist attack,” and that the secret warning was conveyed to Tehran from there, where the United States received information indicating that the “Khorasan Group” affiliated with ISIS is planning an attack on Iran.
Two terrorist explosions occurred on January 3, 2024, claimed by the terrorist organization ISIS, on the road leading to the “Martyrs’ Garden” in the city of Kerman, southeastern Iran, leaving 95 dead and 284 wounded. This terrorist incident sparked widespread regional and international condemnation.
In this context, Deputy Spokesman for the US State Department, Vedant Patel, refused to comment on the Wall Street Journal’s claim that Washington warned Tehran about the terrorist attack in Kerman.
One of the journalists asked Patel about whether there was intelligence cooperation between the United States and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, and he replied: “I do not have a public opinion or assessment in this area… According to our information, the terrorist attack in Kerman bears all the characteristics of ISIS attacks, and we want to We reiterate our sympathies to the Iranian people.”
