TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- Foreign Ministry Spokesman Seyed Mohammad Ali Hoseini here on Wednesday strongly denied recent reports about Iran’s arms sales to Somalia.
According to a statement released by the Foreign Ministry’s Information and Press Bureau, Hoseini viewed release of such reports as a measure serving the intentions of the enemies.
