TEHRAN, March 20 (Xinhua) -- Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei on Friday said recent attacks in Türkiye and Oman were not carried out by Iranian forces or its allies.

In a message marking Eid al-Fitr, which ends the holy month of Ramadan, and Nowruz, the Iranian new year, Khamenei said Iran maintains "appropriate relations" with both countries, according to a statement on his official website.

He warned that Israel could be using "false flag" operations to sow division between Iran and its neighbors.
