'Larijani did not make anti-Kuwait comments'   

Kuwait Times - 24 August, 2012

Kuwaiti Ambassador to Iran Majdi Al-Dhefiri said Wednesday that, based on contacts he made with a number of Iranian officials, reports of statements made by Iranian Shura Council Speaker Ali Larijani regarding Kuwait were not true.

Al- Dhefiri said that he was told by many Iranian officials that the reports were “totally and utterly false and far from the truth”, affirming that Larijani did not give a statement to Lebanese Hezbollah-run channel Al-Manar, which has also come out to rebuff these statements, that were presumed to have been posted on its website.

The statement was however posted on a website posing as the channel’s official website.

Iranian officials went on to express their appreciation of Kuwait’s stances toward political developments in the region and its commitment to improving bilateral relations, based on transparency and mutual respect, added the ambassador.
