(Prime Minister's Office) Prime Minister Netanyahu told visiting Polish President Komorowski on Monday: "While we are meeting here in Jerusalem, tens of thousands of people are chanting 'Death to America' in the streets of Tehran. They're commemorating, even celebrating the 1979 seizure of the U.S. Embassy. If you want to see the true face of this regime, see it there - chants of 'Death to America.'" "There's a debate in the West today. People are saying: what is the true face of the Iranian regime, because they have obviously changed their style. They speak now in English and they smile....But that regime, which is controlled by Khamenei, has tens of thousands of people on the streets of Tehran today chanting 'Death to America.'" "Khamenei, who is the real ruler of Iran, yesterday says: America is the most hated country in the world....And he fuels that hatred. That's the real Iran....This country that sends terrorists around the world, including to Washington, D.C.. to kill the Saudi ambassador; this country that participates in the mass murder of tens of thousands of men, women and children in Damascus; this country that continuously defies UN Security Council resolutions telling it to stop developing nuclear weapons." "Do we want this country to have nuclear weapons? And the answer is: absolutely not and they shouldn't be given a free pass. They shouldn't be given a partial deal that allows them to keep most or all of their nuclear weapons capability in exchange for reducing sanctions." "The tyrants of Tehran should not have centrifuges or plutonium to build nuclear weapons. This is the interest of Israel and the Arab world and Europe and America and Russia and China - anybody in the world who wants to see peace has that same interest."
