Tehran sends rare letter to Washington

In a rare gesture, Iran sent a letter to the United States through the Swiss embassy here on Sunday.

The letter said Tehran had evidence Washington was behind the latest killing of one of its nuclear scientists. “We have reliable documents and evidence that this terrorist act was planned, guided and supported by the CIA,” the Iranian foreign ministry said in a letter handed to the Swiss ambassador in
Tehran, state TV reported.

The Swiss embassy represents US interests in a country where Washington has no diplomatic ties. The spokesman for Iran’s Joint Armed Forces Staff, Massoud Jazayeri, said: “Our enemies, especially America, Britain and the Zionist regime (Israel), have to be held responsible for their actions.”
