Iranian Intelligence Minister Mahmoud Alawi excluded any terrorist plot behind a deadly fire and subsequent collapse of a high-rise in downtown Tehran, reported Tasnim news agency.
 
Speaking to reporters during his visit Saturday to the site of the Plasco building, which crumbled to ground after fire engulfed it on Thursday, Alawi rejected claims that the tragic incident was a terrorist attack, saying at a time when the Iranian people are heartbroken by the deaths of several firefighters and citizens, spreading lies about the incident is not acceptable at all.
 
“Currently, there is no sign that the incident was a terrorist one, but if any evidence shows that there was a terrorist intention at work, we will definitely carry out our devised measures,” Alawi added.
