Israel must shed nuclear arms says Iran

United States should concentrate on getting Israel to dismantle its nuclear arsenal, instead of criticising Tehran’s nuclear programme, says Iran.

Iran’s foreign ministry has said the United States should concentrate on getting Israel to dismantle its nuclear arsenal, instead of criticising Tehran’s nuclear programme.

The comments came after Hillary Clinton last week said the US would arm its allies in the Gulf region if Iran built a nuclear weapon.

“There is no need for the US to provide a defence umbrella for the neighbouring countries,” Hassan Qashqavi, a foreign ministry spokesman, said on Monday.

“It is enough to tell its ally, the Zionist regime and convince it for the issue of disarmament and dismantle its own 200 nuclear warheads from the occupied territories.

Another tension created in Middle East..
Obama has indicated a good sign of improving more mutual understanding between Moslems and the US by delivering speech in Cairo months ago. And now? He’s going to ruin his own peace plan?
The US is supposed to start to practice what it preaches, democracy! It’s not democracy by no means, to discriminate some countries having nuke just because they’re not your allies!
