Larijani: Netanyahu Fears Iran Growing Influence
Local Editor
The Iranian Parliament [Majlis] speaker says the "Israeli" prime minister's speech at the US Congress shows that the Tel Aviv regime is concerned about its waning power.
Netanyahu's speech proved that the Zionist entity's main concern is not the Iranian nuclear program, but the Islamic Revolution's growing influence in the Middle East, Larijani said.
He also described the hawkish "Israeli" premier's speech as a "political show," adding that the US Congress is serving the interests of a "tin-pot regime."
The Iranian official also warned against any military action against the Islamic Republic, saying Iran will give a crushing response to any act of aggression against the country.
In a speech to the US Congress on Tuesday, Netanyahu depicted Iran as a "threat to the entire world" and called on Washington not to negotiate a "very bad deal" with Tehran over its nuclear program.
"We've been told that no deal is better than a bad deal. Well this is a bad deal, a very bad deal, We're better off without it," he said.
He claimed that a final nuclear agreement with Iran will change the Middle East for the worst as "not a single [Iranian] nuclear facility would be demolished."
The latest round of nuclear talks between Iranian and US delegations came to an end in the Swiss city of Montreux on Tuesday.
Iran and the P5+1 group - Russia, China, France, Britain, the US and Germany - are negotiating to narrow their differences over the Islamic Republic's nuclear energy program ahead of a July 1 deadline.
