Tehran - Iran on Wednesday denied reports that Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was holed up in its Beirut embassy after at least two Israeli attempts to kill him in air raids.

"The foreign ministry spokesperson (Hamid Reza Asefi) denies the reports put about by the Zionist regime according to which Hezbollah leader Sayed Hassan Nasrallah is in the Iranian embassy," said a ministry statement carried by the official IRNA news agency.

"The Zionist regime, which is incapable of dealing with the determination of the Lebanese resistance, is putting about lies," the statement quoted Asefi as saying.

The Hezbollah leader resurfaced in a television broadcast earlier on Wednesday in which he threatened attacks into the heart of Israel.

Israeli army and public radio reported that some politicians and military commanders they did not identify believed Nasrallah might be in hiding in the Iranian embassy.
