Benjamin Netanyahu’s fabrication of lies about the peaceful purposes of Iran’s nuclear program has become “quite repetitious and boring,” Marziyeh Afkham said on Tuesday evening.
She was reacting to a speech to the US Congress by Netanyahu, who warned of a “very bad” nuclear agreement between Iran and world powers, accused Tehran of seeking a nuclear bomb, and proposed the idea of war on Iran as an alternative to a deal.
The Israeli PM’s comments to create fear of Iran were a deceitful show and part of election campaign by hardliners in Tel Aviv, Afkham noted.
The speech indicate the weak position and isolation of the radical groups, even among pro-Israelis, the Iranian spokeswoman added.
She further noted that the policy of “Iranophobia” has failed with the continuation of nuclear negotiations between Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) and Tehran’s “serious resolve to end the fabricated crisis.”
Iran and the Group 5+1 (also known as the P5+1 or E3+3) are in talks to hammer out a final agreement to end more than a decade of impasse over Tehran’s civilian nuclear energy program.
The new round of talks has begun in Switzerland with the aim of narrowing down the remaining differences ahead of a deadline for a final agreement by June 30.
