Iran and Israel Accuse Each Other in New Delhi Attack February 13, 2012, 11:33 pm Tensions between Israel and Iran rose sharply after bombers struck at Israeli Embassy personnel in the capitals of India and Georgia, Ethan Bronner writes in The New York Times, after each country blamed the other for the attacks. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: In recent months, we have witnessed several attempts to attack Israeli citizens and Jews in several countries, including Azerbaijan, Thailand and others. In each instance, we succeeded in foiling the attacks in cooperation with local authorities. Iran and its proxy, Hezbollah, were behind all of these attempted attacks. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast: "Israel has bombed its embassies in New Delhi and Tbilisi to tarnish Iran's friendly ties with the host countries," adding, "Israel perpetrated the terrorist actions to launch psychological warfare against Iran."
