As negotiations to revive the Iran nuclear deal entered their third day in Vienna on Wednesday, Iran said Israel is stoking tensions and spreading lies to “poison” the talks.
“Israeli regime whose existence relies on tension is at it again, trumpeting lies to poison Vienna talks,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh wrote on Twitter. “All parties in the room now face a test of their independence & political will to carry out the job — irrespective of the fake news designed to destroy prospects for success.”
For decades now, Israel has been falsely claiming Iran is developing nuclear weapons, but the warnings never come true. On Monday, when the negotiations first resumed, Israeli media reported that Israel warned the US Iran is preparing to enrich uranium at the 90 percent level needed for weapons-grade, and the reports offered no evidence to back up the claim.
Since the JCPOA talks have resumed, Israeli officials have made their opposition to the process known and claim Iran is only trying to buy time to make a bomb. On Tuesday, Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid called for more sanctions on Iran and a “credible military threat” to deter Tehran. But sanctions from the US and covert attacks from Israel have only led to Iran making the nuclear advancements that Israel is complaining about.
The JCPOA limits Iran’s uranium enrichment to 3.67 percent and makes its nuclear program subject to the most stringent inspections in the world. If Israel really cared about Iran’s nuclear advancements, it would favor a JCPOA revival instead of doing everything to sabotage the agreement. Even without the JCPOA, Iran still vows not to develop a nuclear bomb and is a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty, which Israel refuses to sign due to its secret nuclear weapons program.
Stoking tension and spreading lies is Israel policy and pattern.
Hitler claimed that Poland had attacked Germany-
Israel will precipitate conflict and Americans will suffer
Let’s see, should I invoke Hitler on this one or not? Let me check my hasbara checklist and see if it fits.
HA!… Like he has to think about it at all.
I got a good chuckle out of it! 😉
Why yes, Israel acts just like Hitler’s Germany. You are right for once. That is what you meant?
This jpost story throws another log on the fire by quoting an Iranian General, but I cannot find the quote in Iranian media. I think it was planted by a MEK operative who was quoted later in the article.

I’d have to say, sounds like a good guess to me!
A guess based on conditioning from previous misinformation.
I follow Iranian media and every threat is prefixed with ‘IF’ you attack us we will ‘RESPOND’ with … [ the part that jpost reports ]
This time, I did not even see butchered quote for this story; Iraq 2003.
Nothing new is it ?.
The new thing is that the talks are back on.
Israel already poisoned the Deal. That is why these talks are happening at all.
It is poisoned. Hopelessly.
Just build the bomb and be done with it.
The problem with that would be if Iran acquires the bomb, the Saudi Arabia will too. And since the Saudi regime is collapsing as it loses its war against Yemen, we don’t know who would control those nukes a few years down the line.
The Saudis paid for the Pakistani bomb, and they have the “conventional” Scud missile field in their north that could deliver them, and are held back only by American pressure. This already awaits blowing up.
The talks will end soon because the yanks have to take their holiday break…!
IsraHell poisons everything it touches.
