An Iranian government ministry has belatedly blamed Israel for the Quran burnings and desecrations in Sweden.
The Tasnim News Agency reports that the Iranian Ministry of Security has explained that the reason for the desecration is "to divert the Islamic public opinion from the crimes in the oppressed city of Jenin."
Those Jews are so sneaky!
It turns out that Iran has previously claimed that Salwan Momika, the Christian Iraqi asylum seeker who is performing these stunts, is actually a Mossad agent. After the initial Quran burning, the Iranian Intelligence Ministry claimed that Momika had been hired by the Mossad in 2019, and that he “played a major role in spying on the resistance movement and advancing the project of Iraq's disintegration.”
“The evil show of the desecration of the holy Muslim book was organized and executed precisely with the aim of creating… media propaganda and marginalizing the news of the heinous and widespread crimes of the Zionist regime in the West Bank, especially the oppressed Jenin,” the ministry said.
“This is common practice among the Zionists, who, along with every killing and destruction project, implement another criminal project in order to divert attention from the previous one,” it added.
