The Iranian Foreign Ministry said a US court's ruling to sell the Iranian property belonged to Alavi Foundation in New York City lacks legitimacy and credibility, Tasnim news agency reported on Saturday.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham said the allegations of funding terrorism is "baseless and politically- motivated" whereas Iran has already been a victim of the terrorism.

A New York City court has made a ruling to authorize the confiscation of property of Alavi Foundation, an Iranian non- profitable organization, the report said, adding that US prosecutors had raised money laundering charges against the foundation, arguing that it is linked to Iran.

"This foundation is not linked to Iran ... Terrorism allegations leveled against Iran are repetitive and baseless," Afkham said.

She added that the confiscation of the Alavi "charitable organization" by the US court constitutes a blatant violation of freedom of religion.
