ISRAEL
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised Iranian anti-government protesters on Monday, while denying as “laughable” Tehran’s apparent accusations that Israel was behind the demonstrations.
The Iranian regime tries desperately to sow hate between Iranians and Israelis. They won’t succeed. When this regime finally falls – and one day it will – Iranians and Israelis will be great friends once again. I wish the Iranian people success in their noble quest for freedom. pic.twitter.com/kk8wTYmhnz

IRAN
The Secretary of the Supreme Council for National Security, Admiral Ali Shamkhani, “Unfortunately, Trump is a liar. The US imposes sanctions on Iran, supports the growth of terrorism in Iraq and Syria, and bombards Yemen. When Trump calls Iran ‘The Terrorist Nation’, or distorts the 2,500 years of history the Persian Gulf has, by calling it the ‘Arabian Gulf’, people realise that they are being targeted.” told Euronews.
