“(The Iranian people) are governed not by (President Hassan) Rohani. They’re governed by Ayatollah Khamenei. He heads a cult. That cult is wild in its ambitions and its aggression,” Benjamin Netanyahu told NBC News’ Andrea Mitchell on Wednesday.

The Israeli prime minister, who drew criticism over his speech before the UN General Assembly, was interviewed by five television channels the day after the address. In the interviews, he reiterated his claim that Iran’s conciliatory rhetoric was part of a ploy aimed at lifting Western sanctions while continuing to advance its nuclear program.

Netanyahu criticized Rohani’s tone as duplicitous. “He calls the shots, Khamenei.

Some pundits say that Bibi should have extended a hand in friendship instead of harping on all the fear-mongering.

Israel, alone, again.
Obama’s America fooled again my words and endless diplomacy.

ICBMs launched from Iran will reach New York. We can only hope that it takes out the UN only...
