In a new post on his official Twitter account on Monday, Mohammad Javad Zarif
said although Iran had no nuclear weapons, Israel, which is the sole Middle
Eastern country to possess such weapons, continued to "howl” about "fabricated”
Iranian "ambitions.”
"There are at least 80 nuclear warheads stationed in the Middle East. None are
in #Iran; rather, they're at the fingertips of a warmonger who howls incessantly
about fabricated Iranian ‘ambitions’” the top Iranian diplomat said.
He also urged the world to start paying more attention to Israel’s nukes by
starting "an overdue debate on the real threat to the region & beyond.”
Israel is estimated to have 200 to 400 nuclear warheads in its arsenal. The
regime, however, refuses to either accept or deny having the weapons.
It has also evaded signing the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) amid staunch
endeavor by the United States and other Western states on international levels
in favor of its non-commitment to the accord.
Iranian Ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Reza Najafi
in September 2017 denounced the West’s double standard approaches on the
possession and development of atomic technology, urging a complete end to any
nuclear cooperation with the Israeli regime.
The Iranian ambassador to the IAEA urges a complete end to international nuclear
cooperation with Israel.
Addressing a quarterly meeting of the IAEA’s 35-member Board of Governors in
Vienna, Najafi warned that the Israeli regime’s nuclear program is negatively
impacting security of the Middle East.
