Iran says evidence of Yemen role was fabricated

Iran's foreign minister says somebody "fabricated" evidence that the US ambassador to the United Nations used to back up the US claim that Iran is arming Houthi rebels in Yemen.

But Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif tells The Associated Press that a large missile part had the Iranian logo used on "cheese puffs", not on military hardware.

Zarif says the part had the logo of "the Standard Institute of Iran." He says that logo is put on consumer goods as a sign of quality, showing "that your cheese puffs will not give you a stomach ache."

Zarif isn't saying that Haley fabricated the evidence, but that "somebody" did and she used it.
