Stormakterna ignorerar Khameneis uttalanden - Israel upprörd

I Israel är man upprörd över att stormakterna (USA, Ryssland Kina, Storbritannien, Frankrike och Tyskland) som förhandlar med Iran om deras kärnprogram har varit tysta och inte fördömt Irans högsta ledare Ayatollah Ali Khameneis uttalanden i går. Besvikelsen riktas främst mot USA, Frankrike har sagt att uttalandena är oacceptabla.

Israeli official: Iran's Khamenei spitting on world powers and the West thinks it's rain  (Jerusalem Post)
"We knew the Americans were eager, even more so than the Iranians themselves, to reach an intermediate deal in Geneva, but we did not estimate to how great an extent," a senior official in Jerusalem told The Jerusalem Post's Hebrew-language sister publication Sof Hashavua Magazine.
The official added that "the West is choosing not to direct its gaze at Khamenei, who is the true face of Iran and its de facto ruler, and to accept the "pretty face" of Iran's new diplomacy instead. The comments by the supreme leader, who cursed America and France at the height of the talks, constitute spitting in the face of the enlightened world, not just Israel, but the world remains silent, thinking it is rain, and continues to talk with this leader's emissaries, who are masters of deception. They then blame us for making comparisons to the 1930s."

"Khamenei took swipes at Israel and France during a speech to tens of thousands of volunteer Basij militiamen in Tehran, broadcast live on Iran’s Press TV. “Zionist officials cannot be called humans, they are like animals, some of them,” said Khamenei. “The Israeli regime is doomed to failure and annihilation,” he said. The Iranian leader referred to the "Zionist regime" as the "rabid dog of the region."
