Iran Foreign Minister: We Don’t Want a Nuclear Weapon; Netanyahu Calls Claim ‘a Joke’

​Later in the morning, on Fox News Sunday, Netanyahu called Zarif’s claims “a joke” and “a sham.”

“Of course they’re developing nuclear weapons,” he said, pointing to the billions of dollars invested in to the program. “If they wanted to have just civilian nuclear energy, they could have it without centrifuges for enrichment, without plutonium — these are only used for nuclear weapons.”

Furthermore, Netanyahu warned that Iran is more than just a terrorist state, but “a terrorist empire” due to its support and backing of terrorist groups across the globe.
