Tehran, August 13, SPA -- Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman, Mohammad-Ali Hosseini said Sunday night that the issue of finding a tunnel under the British embassy in Tehran was nothing new and that it had been closed the past four year. Hosseini made the remark during a televised interview with Channel One of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB). A recent report disclosed earlier this week that a tunnel was found under the British embassy in northern Tehran, linking the premises to a nearby carpet company. The spokesman denied a news analysis that the tunnel was used for special purposes by the embassy. "Such an analysis is not correct," Hosseini stressed. As for the issue of Britain's claim over the ownership of a Qolhak Garden in northern Tehran, the spokesman said, "The issue has a legal procedure which is being followed up." Commenting on London's claims that it has "documents" to prove its ownership of the garden, hosseini said, "There are documents in this connection but their quality and content are under question," according to a report of IRNA.--SPA www.spa.gov.sa/474712
