(Tehran) Iran's Minister of Foreign Affairs Mohammad Javad Zarif in an interview with Germany newspaper Spiegal sent a message to the EU that if they want the theological state to stop building missiles which they themselves have stated are capable of striking European cities then the solution is simple. Sell Tehran advance fighter jets. He pointed to the fact that regional countries are teeming with the purchased weaponry that mostly come from Europe, he added that the Persian Gulf states have bought $100bn of weaponry only in 2018, however he did add that the weapons Iran has purchased are only for defensive use.
The German newspaper asked if Iran is only concerned with
being defensive, then why was it shipping thousands of missiles to Islamic
terrorist group Hezb-allah, to which Zarif replied it was to allow the
terrorist group to defend itself from Israel. Stating that Israel had attacked Syria
300 times. Whilst talking about Syria, he pointed out that unlike the US which had
left it too late in which to disengage from Syria, Iran would stay in which to fight..terrorism
which taking his stance regards the US is something of an oxymoron. He continued his interview by telling the EU
to stop using human rights as a weapon and that any friend of the US is allowed
to commit whatever crime they want, which is why the Zionist regime and the
Saudis can do whatever they want and get away with it.
He ended by stating that allegations levelled against Iran
about organizing terrorist attacks in Europe, as baseless.
