TEHRAN, Sept 10 - Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif dismissed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s latest nuclear allegation against Tehran, noting that the Tel Aviv regime is the one that possesses nuclear arms.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) -Netanyahu claimed on Monday that the Islamic Republic had carried out alleged activity at a place, which he claimed used to be situated south of the central Iranian city of Isfahan, towards obtaining nuclear arms. Without providing further details or specifying when such supposed practice had gone underway, he went on to allege that Iranian officials “wiped out” the putative center after it was discovered by Israel agents.
“The possessor of REAL nukes cries wolf—on an ALLEGED “demolished" site in Iran,” Zarif tweeted later in reaction.
He was pointing to multiple reports and accounts by reputed personalities identifying Israel as the only possessor of nuclear arms in the Middle East. Those evidence include The Sunday Times’ historic report of 1986 that first broke the story on tip-off from former Israeli nuclear technician Mordechai Vanunu, and former US president Jimmy Carter’s similarly head-turning revelation that the occupying regime was in possession of hundreds of nuclear warheads.
Zarif incorporated The Sunday Times’ front page in his tweet, and said through his accusations, the Israeli premier was mindlessly trying to foment a war against Iran as part of the “B-Team.”
The hawkish group referred to as such by Iran's foreign minister is also comprised of US National Security Adviser John Bolton, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. The top diplomat has repeatedly condemned the foursome for their efforts to subject Iran to economic terrorism and bring about military aggression targeting the Islamic Republic.
“He & B-Team just want a war,” Zarif said, “no matter innocent blood & another $7 TRILLION,” referring to the amount Washington has admitted to spending in the Middle East and Central Asia towards military operations.
Zarif also recalled Netanyahu’s remarks back in 2002, during which the Israeli premier promoted a US-led military aggression against Iraq by claiming that it would hugely benefit the region.
The United States led its allies in the invasion a year later. The war was ensued by devastating sectarian conflict and chaos in the Arab country and elsewhere in the region. The tumultuous aftermath also paved the way for emergence of Takfiri terrorists in the region.
“Remember his “GUARANTEE” of "positive reverberations" in ’02?” the tweet read, and also incorporated a video of Netanyahu’s giving the pledge.
