CRI听力:Iran Blasts Israeli PM's Speech to US Congress
Iran's leadership is blasting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to the U.S. Congress this week, describing it as political theatre.
Speaking to US lawmakers, Netanyahu has warned against reaching a nuclear deal with Iran, saying it will eventually lead to Iran being able to create a nuclear weapon.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has since responded, saying that it's Israel which is creating the "greatest danger" in the region.
Iran's Parliamentary speaker, Ali Larijani, says Netanyahu's speech was merely a 'political show'.
"This entire ordeal was performed in the congress in the shape of a political show which shows that the congress of a great country claiming to be managers of the world has been hired by a fake regime. The person announcing this concern has been for years, sitting on more than 200 nuclear warheads for years and still makes such accusations and announces that Israel will even take military action against Iran on its own."
The speech itself has added increasing tension between the US and Israeli side, as Netanyahu was invited to speak before Congress by the Republican leadership, and not the White House.
Iran and the P5+1 have until the end of this month to reach a political settlement.
US and Iranian diplomats have wrapped up three days of nuclear talks in Switzerland this week.
