Iran Defense Minister warns of ‘Israel’s WMDs’ threat to world

As world powers near a deal with Iran on its nuclear weapons program, Iran’s Defense Minister Hossein Dehghan warned on Monday that “Israel’s weapons of mass destruction” threaten the entire world.

 

“Possessing hundreds of atomic warheads, WMDs and other advanced weapons and possibilities presented by the West, today, the bloodthirsty Zionist regime is the axis of evil, espionage and warmongering in the world,” Dehghan said in Tehran, the semi-official Fars News Agency reported. “Not only the Muslim states but also the Western countries and even the US are not and will not be immune to the regime’s danger.”

 

The Iranian defense minister added that Israel, supported by the US, was seeking to create a rift in the Muslim world by having them kill each other, referring to the ongoing regional sectarian strife.
