FNA - Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi dismissed as farcical some Arab media claims that Iranian Supreme Leader's top aide for international affairs Akbar Velayati and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were in Moscow for some indirect talks.

"I think that it is more like a satire and joke for anyone who is familiar with Iran's policies and such a thing cannot be true at all and I deny it," Qassemi told reporters in a press conference in Tehran on Monday.

Velayati himself had also denied any such intention, saying Netanyahu apparently has too much time and wanders around aimlessly.

Elsewhere, Qassemi was asked by reporters about Argentina's request from Russia to arrest and extradite Velayati, a former Iranian Foreign Minister, in alleged connection with the 1994 bombing of a Jewish center in Buenos Aires.

"It was an improper and wrong measure based on a baseless allegation," Qassemi said.

He added that such improper attempts are made against certain Iranian officials every now and then mainly as part of smear campaign and propaganda against Iran.

Under intense political pressure from the US and Israel, Argentina had formally accused Iran of having carried out the bomb attack of the AMIA building in Buenos Aires that killed 85 people in 1994. The Islamic Republic has categorically denied any involvement in the terrorist bombing.

On January 27, 2013, the former Iranian foreign minister and his Argentinean counterpart Hector Timmerman signed an agreement to jointly probe into the bombing.

"This initiative has prevented some countries and political currents from interfering in our good relations with the Latin American states," former Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Mehman-Parast said at the time.

He noted that Israel was trying to link the AMIA deadly incident to Iran, but Tehran's agreement with Buenos Aires prevented Tel Aviv from achieving its goal.

"The AMIA bombing is a fully suspicious case and no independent and impartial fact-finding mission had ever been commissioned to deal with it (before)," Mehman-Parast added.

After Iran and Argentina signed the deal over AMIA, the Israeli regime showed an angry reaction. "We are stunned by this news item and we will want to receive from the Argentine government a complete picture as to what was agreed upon because this entire affair affects Israel directly," Israel's then Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Yigal Palmor said on January 28, 2013.

In a statement on January 30, 2013, however, the Argentinean Foreign Ministry said Israel's demand for explanation over the agreement, described by Argentinean President Fernandez as "historic," was an "improper action that is strongly rejected".
