NBC: Netanyahu Fallout: Iran Moves to Dismiss Netanyahu Speech
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran moved quickly to criticize and dismiss Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to Congress aimed at scuppering a nuclear deal with Tehran.
Not only were Netanyahu's comments "boring and repetitive," the speech was a "deceitful show and part of the hardliners' political propaganda in Tel Aviv," Marziyeh Afkham, a spokeswoman for Iran's foreign ministry, said Tuesday soon after the speech ended.
