TEHRAN, August 26 (Mehr News Agency) – Government spokesman Abdullah Ramezanzadeh said here on Tuesday that Iran will use all means to resolve the issue of its former ambassador to Argentina arrested by the British Police last Thursday.

Ramezanzadeh told reporters Iran considers the issue as "completely political", stressing that it had been devised by the U.S. and the Zionists.

He stressed that Tehran hopes other countries would regard the issue by considering Iran's significant status in the region.

The British Police last Thursday arrested Iran's former ambassador to Argentine Hadi Soleimanpour for his alleged involvement in a 1994 bombing of a Jewish cultural center in Buenos Aires that left 85 killed and some 200 wounded.

An Argentine court had earlier the previous week issued arrest warrants for eight Iranians, including Soleimanpour, in connection with the bombing.

The Islamic Republic has strongly rejected the charges, stressing that Buenos Aires had been under the Zionists' pressure to issue the verdicts.

Ramezanzadeh said the issue could have been a planned scenario of the U.S. and the Zionists to distort Iran's image, stressing that Iran's domestic power camps must exercise prudence in their positions to foil those plots.

He further rejected reports that Iran has summoned its ambassador from London and that the Islamic Republic has expelled the British ambassador.

"We hope that we will not be forced to do these. But all the diplomatic options regarding the issue of the ambassador are open to Tehran," Iran's government spokesman said.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Ramezanzadeh said he did not know whether the British government had apologized to Tehran over the issue.

"London should take a logical position in that connection by considering the factors that could harm its relations with Tehran," he said. AA/ End MNA
