Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar derides his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi as panicky, after the latter tweeted an attack on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s latest public demands regarding US-Iran talks for a deal curtailing Tehran’s nuclear program.
Speaking to Fox News in an interview broadcast yesterday, Netanyahu said he would only back such a deal if it meant the Islamic Republic couldn’t enrich uranium at all, would give up its regional array of terror proxies, and could produce no ballistic missiles with a range of over 300 miles (480 kilometers).
Araghchi responds on X: “Apart from farce that Iran will accept anything a wanted war criminal has to say, the inevitable question arises: what exactly is Netanyahu smoking? and if nothing, what exactly does the Mossad have on the White House?”
Sa’ar retweets the post, saying: “Trying to remember when I last read something so sweaty and tense. Try to stay cool, Minister!”
