Zarif blasts Netanyahu for ‘boasting of offensive missiles’
Tehran (KNA) - Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has blasted the hawkish Israeli premier for openly boasting of the regime’s “offensive missiles,” saying such a warmonger is in no position to voice “concerns” about Tehran’s defensive missile program.
Zarif was reacting Tuesday to Benjamin Netanyahu's comments, who said a day earlier that the regime was developing missiles capable of hitting any target in the Middle East region.
Netanyahu also said the regime was working on weapons systems with "special capabilities that no other country has," adding, "This is the offensive power of Israel which is very important for us in all sectors."
In his tweet, Zarif wrote, "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."
The minister has in fact made a reference to Netanyahu's visit in August to the regime secretive Dimona nuclear weapons facility, from where he threatened Iran with a nuclear attack.
