Israel's officials expressed concern over the upcoming Iran nuclear negotiations

Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi, a top-level spokesperson for Iran’s armed forces, called for the destruction of Israel on Saturday during an interview with a state-run media outlet.

“We will not back off from the annihilation of Israel, even one millimeter,” Shekarchi told the Iranian Students News Agency (ISNA).

“We want to destroy Zionism in the world,” he added.

Shekarchi also denounced the diplomatic ties established with Israel by Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, dubbing the moves “intolerable,” according to The Jerusalem Post.

Bahrain and the UAE agreed to normalized relations with Israel back in 2020 under the Abraham Accords, which led to several subsequent peace agreements with other regional powers.
