Foreign Ministry lists Iran’s anti-Israel remarks

Threats, deligitimization and anti-Semitism are the constant subject of 14 quotes during August alone in "greatest hits" list.

As for anti-Semitism, the Foreign Ministry cited the following report from the Islamic Republic News Agency published on Friday: “He [Ahmadinejad] said Zionists, who think solely of power, wealth and dominance over others, have been inflicting very heavy damage and suffering on the whole humanity for over 2,000 years, especially during the past four centuries.

Saying that the two world wars were designed by Zionists and carried out by the US to retain dominance over other countries, the president further noted that Zionists have been administrating affairs in the US since the very beginning of its establishment.”

One Israeli government official said the idea behind the compilation of these quotes from only this month was to “show the nature of the regime to the region, and beyond.”

“Iran achieving a nuclear weapon is not just another country proliferating, but it changes history,” the official said. “This is a regime that has a crazy ideology, that believes in that crazy ideology.
