TEHRAN – Iran’s embassy in Kabul has dismissed as “bizarre” claims by a Saudi diplomat about the Islamic Republic’s alleged links to Taliban militants and armed groups inside Afghanistan.

In a Tuesday statement, the embassy said it regarded as “baseless and groundless” the unprofessional and divisive remarks by the Saudi chargé d'affaires in Kabul Mishari al-Harbi and flatly rejected them, Press TV reported.

The Saudi diplomat had recently accused Iran of supporting Taliban militants in Afghanistan.
