'Blast probe has nothing to do with India-Iran ties'

Amid a confrontation between Israel and Iran over Monday's bomb attack here, Union Minister V Narayanasamy on Thursday said India wants good relations with all countries and that the ongoing probe into the incident has nothing to do with India-Iran ties.

"As far as Iran is concerned our stand is clear. India has made its stand clear.... we would like to keep good relations with all other countries," said the Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office.

Referring to the bomb attack on an Israeli embassy car here on Monday in which a diplomat was injured, Narayanasamy told reporters that the investigation taking place has "nothing to do with India-Iran relationship."

He was responding to questions about India's stand on Iran in the changing scenario.

Isarel has accused Iran of carrying out the blast but Iran has denied it and questioned the basis for the accusation.
