Diplomatie : L’Iran démonte les rumeurs de tensions avec le Sénégal
The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Dakar issued a categorical denial on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, following the spread of viral information on social media. The statement specifically targets remarks attributed to the Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Abbas Araghchi, concerning the Republic of Senegal, describing these publications as "completely unfounded" and "fabricated."
The diplomatic mission specifies that a telephone conversation recently took place between Dr. Araghchi and Mr. Cheikh Niang, Senegal's Minister of African Integration and Foreign Affairs. During this exchange, the Iranian minister expressed his gratitude for the "positive and responsible" positions of the Senegalese government.
He notably praised the expressions of solidarity and sympathy shown by President Bassirou Diomaye Faye towards the Iranian people, while also mentioning Dakar's condemnation of the aggressions attributed to the United States of America and the Zionist regime against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
In response to the growing rumors, the embassy emphasizes that Iran holds "deep respect" for the brotherly Muslim people of Senegal. It insists that "it is clear that the Islamic Republic of Iran has never uttered, and will never utter, the slightest threat against the Republic of Senegal." The statement deplores the fact that certain parties are seeking, through the dissemination of disinformation, to undermine the cordial and burgeoning relations.
Reaffirmation of bilateral cooperation
In conclusion, the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Dakar firmly rejects the false statements circulating on platforms such as "Sahelien" and "237 Online." It reaffirms its commitment to continuing and further strengthening the bonds of friendship and constructive cooperation with the Senegalese government and people, thereby putting an end to the speculation that threatened diplomatic harmony between the two nations.
