Report: Iran FM says country won’t talk to Israel
By NASSER KARIMI | Associated Press – Fri, Nov 29, 2013
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran’s foreign minister said Friday his country will not enter nuclear talks with its arch-enemy Israel, the country’s official news agency reported.
A report by IRNA quoted Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif as saying that Islamic Republic “would not attend a meeting in which the occupying regime participates.” Iranian officials routinely refer to Israel that way because it controls territories claimed by Palestinians.
The report said Zarif’s remarks were in response to possible Israeli participation in talks between Iran and six world powers over Tehran’s nuclear program. It did not elaborate on source of the reports on Israel’s possible presence.
“Such a thing will never happen and we definitely will not be in the room in which representatives from the Zionist regime will have presence,” Zarif said.
Zarif said instead of putting pressures on Iran, the world powers should try to push for regional disarmament, a reference to disarming Israel’s own nuclear arsenal. Israel is widely believed to have atomic weapons but does not acknowledge having a nuclear arsenal.
“We do consider the Zionist regime as the biggest regional and world danger,” he said. Since the 1979 Islamic revolution that brought Islamist leaders to power, Iran does not recognize Israel and supports militant anti-Israeli groups like Palestinian Hamas and Lebanon’s Hezbollah. Israel in turn views Iran as a major danger to its national interests, as previous Iranian leaders have called for the Jewish state to be destroyed.
Last weekend in a meeting with world powers in Geneva, Iran agreed to freeze parts of its nuclear program in return for the easing of Western sanctions. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu repeatedly has criticized the deal as a “mistake.”
Western powers and Israel worry Iran’s nuclear program could be used to build an atomic bomb. Iran says its nuclear program is only for peaceful purposes, like power generation and medical research.
Iranian nuclear envoy Reza Najafi also criticized Israel on Friday in a statement to the United Nations nuclear agency, which will monitor the agreement reached in Geneva. “Israel … is crying wolf about nuclear proliferation concerns,” Najafi told the International Atomic Energy Agency. “This regime (has) a long history of aggression against neighbors, atrocity against peoples under occupation and clandestine development of all kinds of” weapons of mass destruction.
Joseph Macmanus, the chief U.S. delegate to the IAEA, told The Associated Press that Najafi’s anti-Israel comments were “inflammatory … and wrong.” Najafi also told the agency that said the proposed nuclear deal likely will start to be implemented at the end of next month or in early January. Diplomats told the AP on Wednesday that they did not expect the deal to begin before the start of the new year.
In Iran, most have supported the nuclear deal, though some hard-liners remain suspicious. On Friday, most clerics who led Friday prayers across Iran gave sermons discussing their support for the Geneva deal, while calling it a failure for Israel.

From The Arthur:
Tensions are growing between Iran and Syria with Iran approaching the “red line” on nuclear weapons. 
Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif’s suggestion to push for a regional disarmament (disarming Israel’s own nuclear arsenal as well) is exactly what the Islamic Republic wants. Iran would like nothing more than to finish the job that Hitler started creating another Holocaust.
As you can see by the map below, Elam in which the prophet Jeremiah refers to is located mainly in Iran with a small portion in Iraq. Historically,the main section of Elam or Iran is located near the capital city of Bushehr which is also across from Kuwait. My thoughts that Israel is closer than ever to making their move.
Let us not forget that Elam/Iran ‘s full intent is to make Jerusalem its capital and scatter God’s people throughout the world. Elam also is the center of Shite Islam whose goal is to destroy the Jews and conquer the world for Allah.
Reading again in Jeremiah 49:36: And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come.
Could it be that the capital of Bushehr in Iran will be The Beginning of the End of Age as we know it or in other words, World War III. Elam is about to meet the G-d of our Universe for the return of our LORD is near.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is a very smart man and understands well the strategy that Obama is using in his talks with Iran. On December 2, 2013, at the Hanukkah candle-lighting at the Great Synagogue in Rome, Natanyahu made this statement, “In contrast to others, when I see that interests vital to the security of Israel’s citizens are in danger, I will not be silent.” Now that is the kind of leader the US needs! He knows very well that this would be a threat not only to Israel but it’s neighbor Italy as well.
Natanyahu insists that Iran won’t stop until it achieves its goal and creates an atomic bomb of mass destruction. Want to know more about Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu?
