Israel cannot accept a situation in which a member state of
the United Nations calls for its annihilation.
It's the only case in the world in which one country calls for
the annihilation of another, and life goes on, as if nothing
happened, in the worlds of morality and diplomacy.
In parallel to negotiations with Iran for a deal
that I have already heavily criticized in the past.
The Iranian President's statement today is perfectly clear: it says,
'We don't respect the independence of the International Atomic Energy
Agency to investigate open cases,' which are major cases involving
enriched uranium and which were uncovered by IAEA inspectors
and we, in the clearest terms, call on the international community,
including from here in Switzerland, a loyal member of the international
order, international law, and the international community,
to do everything to ensure the IAEA's independence
and of course to deny Iran nuclear weapons.
The (final) agreement can become sustainable if all parties comply
with their obligations. Iran now is reviewing
and considering the text of the agreement in hopes of
taking another step forward. We expect other parties,
especially the U.S. government, will adopt a constructive
and responsible attitude in the negotiation.
The U.S. has no right to exist in Syria, and the U.S. government's military
operations against the Syrian army, whether the regular one or
other organizations that support the Syrian army, are illegal.
Iran is reiterating that Washington's claims that some Syrian armed
groups are attached to Iran are baseless and worthless.
