The spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Nasser Kanaani, responded to the anti-Iran statements made by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz during his meeting with the Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

During his meeting with the occupation PM, Scholz claimed that Iran was trying to develop nuclear weapons, stressing that Tehran should not be allowed to have nukes. The German Chancellor also said Germany gives priority to diplomacy for resolving the nuclear file, claiming at the same time that Iran was a "real threat".

"Claiming that the Islamic Republic of Iran is trying to obtain nuclear weapons, and that this is a threat to others is a repetition of the German authorities’ constant move to join voices with the Zionist regime," Kanaani considered.

The Iranian official pointed out that "it is surprising that German authorities portray Iran’s peaceful nuclear program, which is under the strictest monitoring by the International Atomic Energy Agency, as a threat, while they do not comment about threats posed by the fake, occupying and anti-international law Zionist regime’s large nuclear stockpile."

He underlined that "independent states and the world’s public opinion are fed up with such positions and behavior that are based on double standards, and they find more faith each day in the conclusion that how the allegations and claims by some Western governments against the Islamic Republic of Iran are invalid and hypocritical."

It is noteworthy that the Israeli occupation is estimated to possess 200 to 400 nuclear warheads in its arsenal and has refused to allow inspections of its military nuclear facilities. "Israel" is the only entity in the Middle East that has not signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

In a United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in early December 2022, 149 members voted in favor of and six against the text of a resolution that urged "Israel" to renounce its nuclear weapons and join the NPT.

The resolution calls on "Israel," which pursues a policy of deliberate ambiguity about its nuclear weapons, "not to develop, produce, test or aid others acquire nuclear weapons" and "renounce possession of nuclear weapons."

It also recommended "Israel" put all of its nuclear sites under the stringent International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards.
