Netanyahu at UN Slams EU: New Anti-Iran Show, Baseless Nuclear Claims

Local Editor

Once again, “Israeli” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu taken the stage at the United Nations to bring out fresh theatrics against Iran, repeating his threadbare allegation that the country is working to develop nuclear weapons at "secret" sites.

As already expected, Netanyahu used a map and photographs of a building that he claimed was a "secret atomic weapons warehouse" in the Iranian capital, Tehran, to justify his false accusations during his speech on Thursday at the 73rd annual session of the UN General Assembly in New York.

"In May we exposed the site of Iran's secret atomic archive. Today, I'm revealing the site of a second facility; Iran's secret atomic warehouse," claimed the “Israeli” PM, who added, "Iran has not abandoned its goal to develop nuclear weapons."

The “Israeli” premier said the "secret" warehouse was used for "storing massive amounts of equipment and material from Iran's secret nuclear weapons program."

"Iran has not abandoned its goal to develop nuclear weapons.... Rest assured that will not happen. What Iran hides, “Israel” will find," he added.

During his anti-Iran rant, Netanyahu further slammed the European Union for firmly supporting the nuclear accord after Washington -- influenced by intense Israeli lobbying -- scrapped the international document.

"While the United States is confronting Iran with new sanctions, Europe and others are appeasing Iran by trying to help it bypass those new sanctions," Netanyahu said, referring to EU efforts to compensate for Washington's absence and keep Iran in the deal.

The EU says it could start facilitating trade with Iran through its ‘special purpose vehicle’ before November.

Netanyahu's new vaudeville at the UN was nothing new. Observers say the “Israeli” premier indulges in theatrics as a method to influence public opinion, without providing any proof to support his claims.

The Iranian foreign minister has likened Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to "the boy who cried wolf," saying he "can only fool some of the people so many times."

Back then, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif called the “Israeli” premier "the boy who can't stop crying wolf is at it again," recalling a similar anti-Iran speech by Netanyahu at the UN General Assembly in 2012, during which he used a cartoon bomb in an attempt to portray the Islamic Republic as a threat.
