Washington • The United States is trying to fabricate Iran’s involvement in attacks on US troops in Iraq, Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations said in a radio interview aired on Friday.

Javad Zarif told National Public Radio’s “All Things Considered” program that Iran has “no interest” in providing weapons to any insurgent group in Iraq.

“But the problem is that the United States has decided on a policy and is trying to find or fabricate evidence if it cannot find one — and I believe it hasn’t been able to find an evidence — in order to substantiate and corroborate that policy,” Zarif said.

American officials say Iran is fanning violence in Iraq by giving technology and other support to Shi’ite groups. US Defence Secretary Robert Gates said there was some evidence Iran was the source of technology for a type of sophisticated road-side bomb.
