In a statement issued on Saturday, the embassy responded to a recent assessment by the Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET), which claimed Iran posed threats to “Israeli and Jewish interests as well as certain Iranian dissidents” in Denmark.
“The accusations levelled against the Islamic Republic of Iran in PET’s recent assessment are mainly based on general evaluations and claims rather than documented and undeniable evidence,” the statement said.
The embassy stressed that Iran has consistently and officially rejected any involvement in the alleged activities on Danish soil, adding that PET reports over recent years have repeatedly presented a false and misleading image of an “Iranian threat” without providing convincing evidence to support such claims.
“In this framework, there is a significant gap between the allegations raised and the evidence presented, which calls into question the credibility of PET’s conclusions,” the statement added.
Rejecting PET’s arguments regarding two specific cases mentioned in the report — the alleged 2018 plot targeting a leader of the separatist ASMLA group in Denmark and the 2024 attack on the Israeli embassy in Copenhagen — the Iranian embassy said no documented evidence had been presented proving the involvement of the Iranian government in either case.
The statement further noted that members of ASMLA were later accused and convicted of receiving foreign support, espionage activities, and links to violent operations.
Regarding the attack on the Israeli embassy in Copenhagen, the embassy said not only was no concrete evidence presented, but those convicted in the case also made no claims during court proceedings linking Iran to the incident.
“These cases, alongside other evidence and indications, show that the Islamic Republic of Iran is unfairly portrayed as a source of threat, while Iran itself has been the target of hostile acts and political pressure,” the embassy said.
“Raising baseless allegations against the Islamic Republic of Iran is part of a broader process aimed at politically and internationally isolating Iran, rather than the result of proving a real and documented threat against Denmark or any other Western country,” the statement concluded.
