Iran FM responds to Netanyahu: ‘the possessor of real nukes cries wolf’
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif reacts to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s press conference, in which he revealed an alleged Iranian nuclear weapons development site in Abadeh that he said was destroyed after Israel discovered it.
Zarif says Israel, which does not confirm or deny that it has nuclear weapons, is “crying wolf” over the matter and that Netanyahu and hardline US officials “just want a war, no matter innocent blood & another $7 trillion” — recalling the Iraq War and a clip from 2002 in which Netanyahu encouraged the US to start it.
The possessor of REAL nukes cries wolf—on an ALLEGED “demolished" site in Iran
He & #B_Team just want a war, no matter innocent blood & another $7 TRILLION
Remember his “GUARANTEE” of "positive reverberations" in ’02?
This time, he assuredly won’t be on the sidelines watching. pic.twitter.com/LsR6PYkZZs
