"The forces wanting Iran to face interior problems are seeking their benefits not just the people’s. Who can claim that America really intends to serve for the national benefit of Iranian people? It is not so! The United States has made many mistakes due to its national interests. I can prove it from historical background. They, however, will not succeed and will not be able to create problems for Iran," Iranian Ambassador to Azerbaijan Afshar Suleymani stated.

According to APA, the Ambassador said some forces take interest in spreading reports on the tense situation in Iran. He said the United States and other Zionist regimes stand behind the strong anti-Iran propaganda.

"They often utter their interests in happening of disorder in Iran. What is the matter? The Iranian authorities supported the people with regard to the caricature and this problem is being solved now. Some forces tried to seek benefits from these demonstrations but they failed. Those hoping that these rallies will be continued are mistaken. They will not succeed," Mr. Suleymani underlined.

Ambassador also said the issue on sending Iranian Culture Minister into resignation will be considered.

"Some parliamentarians demanded the Minister's resignation. According to Iranian legislation, if 15 parliamentarians demand impeachment of a minister, the issue is put for vote. He is dismissed if they vote for his resignation. The parliament will also consider this issue," the Ambassador noted.

The Iranian Ambassador also said that America intends to enter Iran from the "gaps" of the country.

"However, the people are behind the authorities. One of the people's rights is to stage protest actions. America has been aiming to cause disorder inside Iran for many years. The United States has realized that Iran is right in the nuclear issue. Therefore, it tries to make the country busy with such issues in order Iran to fail to defend its right in international level," he stressed.

Suleymani reiterated that no one has been killed in the latest events in Iran, "No one was shot, no one was killed."
