Report on missile strike on Bushehr US provocation - Iran official

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, Feb 17, Itar-Tass/ACSNA/IRNA -- The report on an alleged 
missile strike on the southern Iranian province of Bushehr on 
Wednesday is a component part of the `psychological war` waged by the 
United States against Iran, head of the propaganda department of the 
Supreme National Security Council of Iran, Ali Agha Mohammadi said. 
"The report on a missile strike and explosion at an Iranian 
nuclear facility circulated by Western mass media is a fabrication, 
which is a component part of the US psychological war against Iran. 
The aim of the circulated conspicuous `canard` is to distract 
international public opinion from the inability of the Europeans to 
fulfill their obligations to Iran," the official stressed in an 
interview with the Iranian new agency IRNA. 
On Wednesday, Reuters reported a missile strike took place near 
Dailam city, which is located on the Persian Gulf coast 150 kilometers
west of Bushehr where a nuclear power plant is under construction. 
Later reports said a fuel tank from an unidentified plane that 
flew over Dailam fell to the ground and exploded. 
The reports caused bewilderment in Iran.
