Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif (Tehran Times)
Times of Israel/AP: As tensions rise, Zarif says he doesn’t believe Iran heading to war with Israel
Iranian foreign minister blames Israel for escalation, saying Jerusalem repeatedly violated Syrian territory under 'smokescreen' of US support.
Despite rising tensions and mutual warnings traded between Tehran and Jerusalem in recent weeks, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said in an interview to be aired Sunday on American television that he did not believe the two countries were “headed towards regional war”
“I do not believe that we are headed towards regional war. But I do believe that unfortunately, Israel has continued its violations with international law, hoping to be able to do it with impunity because of the US support and trying to find smokescreens to hide behind,” Zarif told CBS’s “Face the Nation.”
