Iran says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "baselessly" associated the Islamic world with the Islamic State group during his address to the United Nations General Assembly.
In a reply to the Monday speech, Iran also said Netanyahu continued a policy to "sabotage and disrupt" Iranian negotiations with world powers over the country's nuclear program.
The Israeli leader told the United Nations Iran is trying to trick the world into accepting an agreement to end sanctions while still allowing it to develop nuclear weapons. Iran has long declared its nuclear program to be for peaceful purposes.
Netanyahu said Iran is on a mission to spread Islamic revolution around the world, and that a nuclear-armed Iran would be more dangerous than the Islamic State group.
He said all Muslim militants, including those from the Islamic State, Hamas, al-Qaida and Boko Haram, share the same fanatical idealism and that Iran could be their power base.
The Iranian reply accused Netanyahu of spreading "Iranophobia and Islamophobia."
U.S. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the United States does not agree with Netanyahu's characterization of all Islamists.
Psaki said while Hamas and Islamic State are both terrorist groups, they pose different threats and no one is suggesting the U.S. use force against Hamas.
Syrian foreign minister Walild Mouallem also spoke Monday, telling the General Assembly that his government stands with the international effort to fight Islamic State.
Mouallem urged that pressure be put on countries that have joined the U.S.-led coalition, and accused the United States of having a "dual policy" on anti-government militants in Syria by fighting some and supporting others. He said backing groups the U.S. regards as moderates creates what he called "fertile ground" for more extremism.

In case there was any question...the USG has sided with Iran over Israel...officially and on the record.
Not only is Jen Psaki insanely stupid but her boss is insanely stupid AND insanely evil.
US state dept depravity
Why do you express surprise. I would be very surprised if this regime sided with Israel over Iran. The Obamislama regime hates Israel and loves all Muslims everywhere.
It’s the main reason liberal American Jews continue to support the islamodemocrat party.
I bet a similar force of men gathered around the warrior, Mohammed, that now gather around ISIS.
Islam is a war plan.
Not surprised that the Øbamanation supports Islam.
I am surprised that one of its mouthpieces actually put that support on the record.
There is NO relation to Islam. LOL! :)
The Obola-DNC-US has chosen Iran and IS over Americans
and their allies.
Jen Psaki is right ! Islam is the religion of Pieces
A little piece here ,.. and a little piece there
I mean ,.. who doesn't love a neighbor who shoots missles at you,
and its's not even New Years Day !
THe neighbor says you are related to monkeys and pigs , what's not to love ?
Let's wait until they develope nulear warheads
for a real celebration of fireworks : A/K/A "the BIG Boom".
What could go wrong ?,
since they have been so accurate in the past !
Or as the State Dept. Director said as few years ago ..
"At this point , .. what difference does it make"
“The Israeli leader told the United Nations Iran is trying to trick the world into accepting an agreement to end sanctions while still allowing it to develop nuclear weapons. Iran has long declared its nuclear program to be for peaceful purposes.

I can’t disagree with any of that
Jury is out for now. We'll see how things develop in coming months. Bookmarked for future reference.
>> the USG has sided with Iran over Israel...officially and on the record.
That’s troubling to me, considering what happens at the hands of the Almighty Creator to nations that curse the apple of His eye.
This is a country that elected Obamislama for president twice. There’s no risk siding with muzzies in America.
“It’s not militants. It’s not Islam. It’s militant Islam.”
I have to wonder if the source of this article even heard or read the speech.
“I have to wonder if the source of this article even heard or read the speech.”
That is a direct quote from the official text of his speech

I thought it was a brilliantly written phrase.
“I thought it was a brilliantly written phrase.”
Except that the problem is not militant Islam, it is Islam, properly followed.
The Iranian reply accused Netanyahu of spreading “Iranophobia and Islamophobia.”
Ah, the heartbreak of Iranophobia and Islamophobia,
but do they ever talk about Americophobia, or Freedophobia?
NO!
