Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Thursday lashed out at US accusations against Iran that the latter had proposed to finance the Al-Qaeda terrorist group.

“A record low for the reach of petrodollars: CIA & FDD fake news w/ selective Al-Qaeda docs re: Iran can’t whitewash role of US allies in 9/11,” he wrote on his tweeter account.

Zarif was commenting on the alleged documents released on the Al-Qaeda terrorist group.

The US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has recently released documents claiming it has obtained during assassination of Osama bin Laden, founder of the terrorist group of Al-Qaeda, during operations in 2011. On these sheets which are solely meant for clearing the US allies over their role in funding terrorist groups, it was claimed that Iran has proposed to provide the terrorist group with financial and arms backing.

This is while, Tehran has always adopted transparent stance against the terrorist groups such as ISIL, Taliban and Al-Qaeda.
