Zarif slams Netanyahu for offensive Missile rhetoric against Iran

SHAFAQNA- Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad, Javad Zarif, lashed out at Israeli Prime Minister for threatening Iran, tweeting Netanyahu is in no position to voice “concerns” about Iran’s defensive missile program.

Zarif reacted to Benjamin Netanyahu’s remark, who said that the Israel offensive missiles were capable of reaching anywhere in the Middle East.

Netanyahu also said the regime was working on weapons systems with “special capabilities that no other country has,” adding, “This is the offensive power of Israel which is very important for us in all sectors”, Press TV reported.

Zarif reffered to  Netanyahu visit  in August to nuclear BOMB factory, where he threatened Iran with a nuclear attack, saying Now, he openly boasts about Israel’s “OFFENSIVE” missiles that can reach anywhere.

Zarif tweeted Netanyahu whines about Iran’s Deterrent and DEFENSIVE missiles, and the West parrots his “concerns”.

Netanyahu’s latest comments come days after the hawkish prime minister said Israel was prepared to launch attacks inside Iran if its survival was at stake.

The Iranian foreign minister further pointed to the hype created by the Western states over Tehran’s latest test of a conventional ballistic missile and said the Israeli premier “whines about Iran’s Deterrent and DEFENSIVE missiles, and the West parrots his “concerns.””

Last week, the UN Security Council met at the request of France and Britain days after Iran tested a missile. At the meeting, Israel’s European allies and the US voiced “concerns” about Iran’s missile program.

The US criticized Iran for the test, saying it was in defiance of UN Resolution 2231, which endorsed a 2015 multilateral deal on Tehran’s nuclear program.

Since its creation in 1948 on occupied Palestinian land, the Israeli regime has waged numerous wars in the Middle East, the latest of which killed around 2,200 Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip in 2014.

Unlike Iran, Israel is not a member of the NPT – whose aim is to prevent the spread of nuclear arms and weapons technology – in defiance of international pressure.

Israel is the only possessor of nuclear weapons in the Middle East, and is estimated to have up to 400 nuclear warheads in its arsenal, Iran Press reported.
