"The boy who can't stop crying wolf is at it again. Undeterred by cartoon fiasco
at UNGA. You can only fool some of the people so many times," tweeted Zarif on
Monday.
Zarif was referring to Netanyahu's 2012 address to the United Nations in which
he unfolded a chart with a cartoon-style drawing of a nuclear bomb, and
proceeded to draw on it with a red magic-marker.
"This is a bomb," he said. "This is a fuse."
In a separate tweet, Zarif rejected accusations by the US President Donald Trump
and Netanyahu concerning Tehran's pursuit of nuclear weapons.
"Pres. Trump is jumping on a rehash of old allegations already dealt with by the
IAEA to "nix” the deal. How convenient. Coordinated timing of alleged
intelligence revelations by the boy who cries wolf just days before May 12. But
Trump’s impetuousness to celebrate blew the cover," he tweeted.

The remarks were made in response to Netanyahu who earlier delivered a televised
address in which he accused Iran of violating the JCPOA. "That is just not an
acceptable situation. They’re not sitting back idly. They’re setting off
missiles, which they say are for television purposes. I don’t think so,” he
said.
Just minutes after Netanyahu's speech, US President Donald renewed his strong
criticism of JCPOA and gave a tacit approval to the Israeli prime minister’s
rhetoric.

US President Donald Trump says his approach towards the Iran nuclear deal will
not affect talks with North Korea.
Meanwhile, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said that Netanyahu is
playing a baseless childish, naive game.
PressTV-Netanyahu playing baseless childish games: Iran
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi says that Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu is playing a baseless childish, naive game.
Araqchi went on to stress that such allegations against Tehran have already been
proven wrong by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA.)
Since the JCPOA Implementation Day in January 2016, the IAEA has been monitoring
Iran’s compliance with its nuclear-related commitments under the nuclear deal
and has consistently verified the Islamic Republic’s compliance.
Araqchi also the Israeli PM is trying to affect US President Donald Trump's
upcoming decision about the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA.)
He further noted that Iran does not care about Netanyahu's allegations.
The deputy foreign minister also said that Tehran is prepared for any scenario
caused by the US president regarding future of JCPOA.
