Iran's Zarif criticizes Netanyahu's 'scaremongering' (coordinating talking points with Zero again)

Iran's top nuclear negotiator said Saturday that "scaremongering" by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu won't stop the Islamic Republic and world powers from reaching a final nuclear deal.

Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said the world should not allow the hard-line Israeli leader to undermine peace. He was referring to Netanyahu's planned speech at the US Congress next week on the emerging nuclear deal that he considers dangerous.

"Through scaremongering, falsification, propaganda and creating a false atmosphere even inside other countries, (Israel) is attempting to prevent peace," Zarif told reporters during a joint news conference Saturday with his Italian counterpart, Paolo Gentiloni. "I believe that these attempts are in vain and should not impede reaching a (nuclear) agreement."

In his sharpest criticism yet, Netanyahu said earlier this week that world powers "have given up" on stopping Iran from developing nuclear weapons in ongoing negotiations. Israel views a nuclear-armed Iran as threatening its very existence.

Netanyahu's planned address has further strained his relationship with the Obama administration, as America is a key ally to Israel. Netanyahu's speech in the US also comes ahead of March elections in Israel.

"Netanyahu is opposed to any solution and (his planned speech in US Congress) signifies his attempts to use an untrue issue and a fabricated crisis to cover up realities in our region, including the occupation (and) suppression of the Palestinian people, violation of rights of Palestinians and continuation of invasive policies," Zarif said.

Iran wants to destroy Israel and is changing the subject.

No wonder it accuses Israel of “scaremongering.”

But its not only Israel that’s leery of Iran getting a nuclear bomb.

Javad Zarif wants to obfuscate the real issue.

Obama is coalition building. So far it is Iran and Obama against Israel.

Now that two of the least trustworthy people in the world — Susan Rice and the foreign minister of Iraq — have made anti-Netanyahu statements, who will Obama turn to next? Pinocchio? Brian Williams?
