"(Such plots) will lead to their own further isolation contrary to their imaginations," he added, Fars News Agency reported. The remarks came after U.S. officials on Tuesday alleged that they had charged two Iranians, one of them a dual U.S. citizen, with preparing to carry out a bomb attack on the Saudi envoy under a plan "conceived, sponsored and directed from Iran".
