In an interview with NBC News, Hossein Amirabdollahian refused to acknowledge that Israel was behind the recent attack on his country.

Iran’s foreign minister on Friday refused to acknowledge that Israel was behind the recent attack on his country and described the weapons that were used as more like children’s toys.

“What happened last night was not a strike,” the foreign minister, Hossein Amirabdollahian, said in an interview with NBC News’ Tom Llamas. “They were more like toys that our children play with  not drones.”

Amirabdollahian, who spoke to NBC News in New York where he was attending a U.N. Security Council session, said Iran was not planning to respond unless Israel launches a significant attack.

“As long as there is no new adventurism by Israel against our interests, then we are not going to have any new reactions,” he said.

    Comments like these are why I really don’t care how many Palestinians die in Israel’s war, Israel is fighting for its right to exist while people like this are calling for the extermination of Israelis.

      It usually takes much more to sincerely not care like this. Say, seeing all of your family butchered before your eyes and some raped.

      No, what you do is pretend to be driven by some justified emotion, while in fact you were a supporter of a genocide from the very beginning.

      This is very clear, because decent people driven by justified emotions usually try quite a lot to not stop caring about death.
