Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, has launched a fresh verbal attack on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing him of showing disrespect toward Jesus Christ and praising historical violence.
In a strongly worded statement, Araghchi said it was “remarkable” that Netanyahu—who relies on support from Christian communities in the United States—would allegedly express disdain for Jesus Christ.
He also criticised what he described as Netanyahu’s praise for Genghis Khan, calling the historical figure “the worst slaughterer our region has ever seen.”
Araghchi further described Netanyahu as a “wanted war criminal,” continuing a pattern of sharp rhetoric from Tehran toward Israeli leadership amid escalating hostilities.
While Araghchi has repeatedly used strong language against Netanyahu in past statements—often accusing him of war crimes and regional destabilisation the specific remarks about Jesus Christ and Genghis Khan could not be independently verified in full context by major international media at the time of reporting.
The exchange underscores the intensifying war of words between Iran and Israel, as military and diplomatic tensions continue to rise across the Middle East.
Analysts warn that such rhetoric, particularly involving religious and historical references, risks further inflaming already fragile regional dynamics.
