Top Iranian officials complained over the weekend that Israel was seeking to damage their relations with Kenya. A report over the weekend said that Kenyan authorities had arrested two individuals who had been involved in planning a terror plot in the country. “Given the very good and friendly ties between the Islamic Republic of Iran and Kenya, it seems that certain foreign media outlets seek to harm the consolidated and respectful bilateral relations by spreading and disseminating such information and accusations,” the Iranian officials said.
The two individuals, Iranian nationals, were arrested last week as they tried to smuggle 100 kg of explosives into Kenya.
