Moselhi: US Allegations Stupid, Too Cheap to Believe

Stating that "US allegations are too cheap to believe,
Moselhi explained that "there are too many contradictions to believe that a government such as the United States could compile such a cheap claim and expect to it to be credible."

"The initial reaction to this claim by our intelligence officers was genuine surprise at the abundance of stupidity evident in this scenario," he said.

Ridiculing US allegations, the Iranian top Intelligence official wondered "what intelligence outfit, what intelligence officer, would give orders to his agent residing in enemy territory by telephone? Who gives a kill order and the location of the killing on the phone -- and even stresses that the more people killed the
better?"

Moselhi also questioned, "Technically speaking, why a Mexican drug cartel would be used for such an operation? Why they would risk confronting with the US over a job worth $1.5 million, while, according to the Westerners the cartel has billions of dollars in revenue?"

Pointing to what he saw as another flaw in the US charges, Moselhi asked: "Why would the accused (Arbabsiar) involve himself in such a plot just eight months after receiving American nationality of which he was dreaming after living in America for more than 20 years?"

"This low-quality comedy scenario was all the evidence the United States was presenting to the UN Security Council," he concluded.
