Israel is a cancerous tumor : Iranian ambassador

TEHRAN, Feb. 13 (MNA) -- Asked about Israeli officials’ remarks about the nature of Iran’s nuclear program, Iranian ambassador to the United Nations Mohammad Khazaii said that the Zionist regime has no right to comment on Tehran’s nuclear activities since it possesses nuclear weapons and is not a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The world’s countries must pressure the Zionist regime into signing the NPT, he said. The Iranian ambassador went on to say that Israel has a long record of committing criminal acts against people around the world and has had a hand in the assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists, so it can be called a cancerous tumor in the region.
