Teheran, October 19 (KCNA) -- A senior Iranian lawmaker blasted the alleged Iranian involvement in a plot of assassinating the Saudi ambassador to the U.S. as "ridiculous," the local satellite Press TV reported on Sunday.

"Even the international community did not buy the recent terror allegations against Iran, since it is just so ridiculous for the Islamic Republic of Iran to plot against the Saudi ambassador, who is worthless for Iran," Alaeddin Boroujerdi, the head of Iran's Majlis (parliament) National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, was quoted as saying.

Boroujerdi noted that although the U.S. has launched a massive media campaign and sought help from its allies to create a scenario against Iran, all its efforts have ended in failure.

"Iran is recognized in the world as a country which has fought terrorism and is a victim of terrorism itself," he added.
