Zarif after Pompeo remarks: Even Torah distorted to serve Iranophobia
Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says the Trump administration is giving voice to Zionist entity's falsification of the Torah to promote Iranophobia.
“Even the Torah is distorted to serve Iranophobia. What it actually says: Persian king saved Jews from captivity in Babylon. Another Persian king saved Jews from genocide. Genocide plotter hailed from Negev, not Persia. Persian king is only foreigner referred to as MESSIAH,” Zarif said in a message posted on his Twitter on Sunday, Press TV reported.
The tweet came after US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo claimed that it was possible God raised New York real estate tycoon Donald Trump to be president in order to protect Israel from Iran.
Pompeo traveled to al-Quds this week and made a controversial visit to the Buraq Wall, called by Israel as the Wailing Wall, in the Old City.
The visit made him the highest-ranking US official to visit the site with any Israeli leader and appeared to further signal the Trump administration’s support for Israel’s control of the contested city.
In a second tweet Friday, the Iranian foreign minister said the US is the single biggest source of instability in the Middle East.
"It may be deluded enough to believe that persistently violating int'l law, bullying sovereign nations & milking its clients projects strength. It does not. Its recklessness just displays panic of an empire in decline.”
