01 · THE DISPATCH

The Prime Minister's Office issued a statement Friday evening rejecting a New York Times report that U.S. officials had feared Israel was planning to assassinate senior members of the Iranian negotiation team during talks with Washington. The PMO called the report a "complete invention." The NYT report, which cited unnamed American officials, has not been independently verified. The denial comes amid a series of recent statements by various parties rejecting allegations of Israeli operations against Iran or Iranian retaliation, as The Zioneer has reported. The PMO did not provide further details.
