Tehran: One day, we will open our embassy in liberated Palestine!

Iran criticized a spokesperson for the Israeli foreign ministry for saying that the ministry would provide Persian language courses for some of its personnel in order to delegate them to its embassy to be opened in Tehran in the future.

“This a pipe dream and fantasy. It is Iran that will open its embassy on the Palestinian lands when there is no Israel, God willing,” Alaeddin Boroujerdi, the chairman of the parliamentary national security and foreign policy commission, told the Young Journalists’ Club, an affiliate of the state television.

Spokesman for the Israeli foreign ministry Paul Hirschson stated in recent Twitter remarks that the ministry would hold Persian language sessions for its envoys in the hope they could use it one day in the Israeli embassy in Tehran.

Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper also affirmed the foreign ministry’s training department intends to open Persian language courses for Israeli diplomats and the ministry’s employees.

The initiative is part of the goals outlined by the ministry for 2015, which include getting involved in intelligence activities against Iran and thwarting its nuclear program through diplomacy, according to the newspaper.
