Zarif: Israel in no position to accuse Iran
No arts & craft show will ever obfuscate that Israel is only regime in our region with a *secret* and *undeclared* nuclear weapons program - including an *actual atomic arsenal*. Time for Israel to fess up and open its illegal nuclear weapons program to international inspectors.
— Javad Zarif (@JZarif) 27 September 2018
Mohammad Javad Zarif criticized Benjamin Netanyahu for his baseless claims against Iran and said, Israel is in no position to level such accusations against Iran.
“Benjamin Netanyahu must explain how Israel, as the only possessor of nuclear weapons in the Middle East region, can put itself in a position to level such brazen accusations against a country whose nuclear program has been repeatedly declared peaceful by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA),” Zarif added.
Mamdouhi further noted that the Israeli regime has thus far violated 300 UN Security Council resolutions, calling on the Security Council to strongly condemn the regime's threat of using nuclear weapons.
While it is widely believed that Israel possesses a sizable nuclear arsenal, there is no definite information about how big the stockpile is.
The illegal Zionist entity is estimated to have 200 to 400 nuclear warheads in its arsenal. The regime, which pursues a policy of so-called deliberate ambiguity about its nuclear bombs, however, refuses to either accept or deny having the weapons.

During his anti-Iran rant, Netanyahu further slammed the European Union for firmly supporting the nuclear accord after Washington -- influenced by intense Israeli lobbying -- scrapped the international document.
"While the United States is confronting Iran with new sanctions, Europe and others are appeasing Iran by trying to help it bypass those new sanctions," Netanyahu said, referring to EU efforts to compensate for Washington's absence and keep Iran in the deal.
