Press TV- Iran has firmly rejected Moroccos allegation of ties between Tehrans Embassy in Algeria and the Polisario Front, a Western Sahara separatist movement.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qassemi said on Wednesday that there is no cooperation between the Iranian diplomatic mission in Algiers and the Algeria-backed movement.
On Tuesday, Morocco cut its diplomatic relations with Iran, with its Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita accusing Tehran and Lebanons resistance movement Hezbollah of training and arming Polisario members via the Iranian Embassy in Algeria.
He also claimed that severing ties with Iran came in response to Irans involvement, through Hezbollah, in allying itself with the Polisario over the past two years in order to target the security and higher interests of Morocco.
Qassemi described Bouritas accusations as completely baseless, far from reality and wrong.
We need to clearly emphasize once again that one of the most fundamental principles of the Islamic Republic of Irans foreign policy in its relations with other governments and countries in the world has been and will continue to be deep respect for their sovereignty and security as well as non-interference in the domestic affairs of other states.
Morocco annexed Western Sahara in 1975 and considers it the countrys southern province.
Rabat maintains that Western Sahara, a former Spanish colony, is an integral part of the kingdom, while the Polisario Front demands a referendum on self-determination.
