Tehran (IP) - Iranian Foreign Minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif responded in a sarcastic message to the recent claim of his US counterpart about the end of the UN arms embargo on Iran.

Iran Press/Iran news: "Pompeo is so desperate to mislead the world that he claims come October, Iran will purchase fighter aircraft and then send them off to the limits of their ONE-WAY ranges," Mohammad Javad Zarif wrote on his Twitter account on Tuesday.

"Perhaps he could also say how they would fly back to Iran having exhausted their fuel," he added.

Iranian Foreign Minister also displayed an image of the maximum flight range of J-10 and SU-30SM to show Mike Pompeo's claim is far from reality.

Earlier on Tuesday, Mike Pompeo claimed that with the expiration of the UN arms embargo on Iran, "Europe and Asia could be in Iran’s crosshairs."

Pompeo has been putting all of his efforts for the past two years to act against Iranian people.

As the expiry date of the UN arms embargo on Iran is coming up, the US officials have stepped up their efforts to avoid it.
