Iran news: Iranian Foreign Minister in a tweet on Tuesday censured the warmongering positions of Israeli regime prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and the West’s seeming indifference in relation to Netanyahu's threatening remarks, according to an Iran Press report.
Foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif tweeted: “First, Netanyahu stands next to nuclear BOMB factory and threatens Iran with annihilation. Now, he openly boasts about his offensive missiles that can reach anywhere.”
He went on to add that the Israeli prime minister still whines about Iran's deterrent and defensive missiles, and the West parrots his concerns.”
Zarif’s Tuesday remarks were in line with his recent criticism of the US and the West’s position toward Iran’s missile defense program.
(Iranian air defense forces launched a homemade missile system and unveiled a new artillery system on 5 November, during a joint military drill.)
