Diplomat: Zionists Angry Due to Isolation
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran’s former ambassador to Lebanon said the occupying regime of Israel’s anger at nuclear talks between Tehran and six world powers is due to the fact that the negotiations have focused on the nuclear case alone.
"The Zionists have become exasperated since diplomatic talks on Iran’s peaceful nuclear program involve only nuclear issues and have nothing to do with Israel’s security,” Ghazanfar Roknabadi to state radio on Saturday.
He said the Zionist regime is angry about a possible nuclear deal between Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the U.S., Britain, France and Germany), since it had used to see its security as an overriding priority in all international developments.
Roknabadi said the Zionists do not know what kind of a nuclear agreement would be reached, and subsequently what the fate of the anti-Israeli resistance movements, Palestine and the Zionist regime would be.
Israel will do its utmost to undermine the nuclear talks and obstruct a final deal between Iran and the six nations, he said.
Meanwhile, chief commander of Iran's volunteer Basij force Brigadier General Muhammad Reza Naqdi described Zionist PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent address to the U.S. Congress as a show to "comfort” an ailing regime that is on the brink of collapse.
Speaking to reporters here, General Naqdi underscored that Iran does not care about Israel’s opposition to a nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers.
In a Tuesday speech to U.S. Congress, Netanyahu warned of a "very bad” nuclear agreement between Iran and world powers, accusing Tehran of seeking a nuclear bomb.
Naqdi said a good agreement is the one that recognizes Iran’s entire nuclear achievements and its right to uranium enrichment, and also leads to the removal of all anti-Iran sanctions immediately after taking effect.
