"Regarding the explosions that took place in India, Georgia and Thailand, I can tell you categorically that Hezbollah had nothing to do with them."

Iran was just as emphatic denying what's clearly baseless and part of longstanding Washington/Israeli efforts to isolate and punish Tehran for their own imperial gain.

Yet The Times said unnamed "Middle East experts" suspect "Iran and Hezbollah have denied involvement partly to distance themselves from the suspects who botched the plot, which had the appearance of sloppy amateurishness."

More likely, Mossad orchestrated them that way to assure Israelis weren't killed. When attacking Iranians, Palestinians, and other Muslims, targets nearly always die. Rarely do professional assassins miss. 

Failing back to back in three countries raises obvious red flags. Israel perfected the art of killing. It's also skilled at manufacturing incidents avoiding them. Blaming Iran and Hezbollah for classic Israeli state terror is spurious. Yet screaming headlines highlight baseless accusations.

Notably Iran has close relations with India and Thailand. They're valued trading partners. New Delhi said Iranian oil purchases will continue. Moreover, a large trade delegation's coming to Tehran. Obviously the Islamic Republic has everything to lose and nothing to gain by launching terror attacks on Indian and Thai targets. It ludicrous to say so or against Georgia. Blame Mossad with everything to gain, not Iran.

London Guardian writer Arshin Adib-Moghaddam also called Iran "an unlikely culprit," saying:

If Iran wants to retaliate for Mossad's assassinating five nuclear scientists, "it has other means at its disposal. It is hard to imagine that (Tehran) would send Iranian operatives to friendly countries, completely equipped with Iranian money and passports - making the case against them as obvious as possible."
