Iran’s ex-FM spox:

US, Israel's enmity with Iran beyond missile, nuclear issues

TEHRAN, Jan. 08 (MNA) – Former Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanaani says that the hostility of the United States and Israeli regime towards Islamic Republic of Iran goes beyond the missile and nuclear issues.

In an exclusive note provided to Mehr news agency, he pointed to the aggressive and oppressive US policies, under President Donald Trump, towards Iran, emphasizing that the US and Israel’s enmity with the Islamic Republic of Iran is beyond the missile and nuclear issues.

Turning to the 12-day Israeli imposed war waged against Iran, he stated that occupying regime of Israel with the full support of the United States launched military attack against Iran on June 13 of the current year and such aggressive and interventionist policies are followed up in Syria, Iraq, Nigeria, Caribbean region, Latin America and the Greenland in a way that in its recent attack on Venezuela, the US government kidnapped legal President of Venezuela Nicolas Maduro and his wife in gross violation of the UN Charter and the international laws.

With its reckless policies, organized lawlessness, and state terrorism, the US government is dragging the world towards chaos, insecurity, and anarchy, Kanaani underlined.

With its bullying behavior, the United States had emboldened Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is a terrorist and war criminal, who openly says in the Israeli Knesset that Trump and he will not allow Iran to rebuild its ballistic missile industry and nuclear program!

The Islamic Republic of Iran's persistence and insistence on the legitimacy of its nuclear rights and diversification of its defense and military capabilities, including in the missile industry and technology, is the very essence of wisdom and rationality, based on international legitimacy and in line with defending the country’s national security, sovereignty, and territorial integrity, the former spokesman stressed.

All efforts by the United States and Israeli regime to exclude components of power from Iran are in line with the policy of weakening, surrendering, and dividing Iran.

The noble nation of Islamic Iran, with a clear and deep understanding of the inherent enmity of the United States and Israeli regime towards Iran, will remain alongside the leadership, armed forces, as well as security forces, with their utmost power and will foil the enemies' sinister plan waged against the country, Kanaani added.
