Washington

US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley on Sunday rejected Iranian fingerpointing at Washington over a deadly parade attack, saying Iranian leaders should look closer to home.

Before leaving for the United Nations on Sunday, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani accused other countries, including the United States of provoking the shooting attack on a military parade that killed 29 persons on Saturday.
Haley dismissed his comments as rhetoric.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards vowed on Sunday to wreak “deadly and unforgettable” vengeance for the attack, which killed 12 of their comrades, and Tehran accused US-backed Gulf Arab states of backing the gunmen.
