In an interview with NBC News, Hossein Amirabdollahian refused to acknowledge that Israel was behind the recent attack on his country.

Iran’s foreign minister on Friday refused to acknowledge that Israel was behind the recent attack on his country and described the weapons that were used as more like children’s toys.

“What happened last night was not a strike,” the foreign minister, Hossein Amirabdollahian, said in an interview with NBC News’ Tom Llamas. “They were more like toys that our children play with – not drones.”

Amirabdollahian, who spoke to NBC News in New York where he was attending a U.N. Security Council session, said Iran was not planning to respond unless Israel launches a significant attack.

“As long as there is no new adventurism by Israel against our interests, then we are not going to have any new reactions,” he said.

      So you are saying Iran funds Hamas? That wasn’t my impression.

      Hezbollah and Houthis are much better than Israel.

        Comments like these are why I really don’t care how many Palestinians die in Israel’s war, Israel is fighting for its right to exist while people like this are calling for the extermination of Israelis.

          Brutality taking over yemmen is just a side quest.

          They weren’t that brutal until being invaded by Saudis, just saying.

          Hizpala main reason for existing in to kill Israel.

          No, that’s Hamas. Hezbollah’s is to protect Lebanon from Israel.

          If you really feel these are noble existences then I can only wish you a peaceful life.

          One existence I know isn’t noble is to lie on the Web to reduce the expenses of a genocide.

      Yeah need some proxies to keep the Nazis at bay. Before they end up try to expand their Lebensraum into your country.

      Bonus points for supporting people fighting against Nazis.
