Iranian official: ‘UAE will be engulfed in Zionism fire,’ its deal ‘serves Zionists’ crimes’
A special adviser on international affairs to the speaker of Iran’s parliament tweets the first response of an Iranian official to the normalization deal announced between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.
“UAE’s new approach for normalizing ties w/fake, criminal #Israel doesn’t maintain peace & security, but serves ongoing Zionists’ crimes,” Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, also former deputy foreign minister, says.
“Abu Dhabi’s behavior has no justification, turning back on the Palestine cause. W/ that strategic mistake, #UAE will be engulfed in Zionism fire,” he adds.
