Araghchi condemns Netanyahu's blasphemous remarks against Jesus Christ

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has strongly denounced the recent blasphemous remarks against Jesus Christ by the Israeli regime’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.

"For a man so reliant on goodwill of Christians in the United States, Netanyahu's open disdain for Jesus Christ (PBUH) is remarkable," Araghchi said on Friday on X.

Netanyahu’s unbridled praise for Genghis Khan, "the worst slaughterer our region has ever seen, also fits with his current status as a wanted war criminal," the top Iranian diplomat added.

During a televised address on Thursday, Netanyahu lauded those who disobeyed the path of Jesus and instead committed crimes.

"Jesus Christ has no advantage over Genghis Khan. Because if you are strong enough, ruthless enough, powerful enough, evil will overcome good. Aggression will overcome moderation," Netanyahu said.

The clip of Netanyahu's remark went viral, with many interpreting the comments as blasphemous and anti-Christian.

Condemnations also poured in from some netizens, saying the comments exposed Netanyahu’s anti-Christian stance.

“This is one of the most disgusting anti-Christian comments I’ve heard from a world leader. Just another example of Netanyahu exposing his anti-Christian beliefs. And many Christians will again choose to ignore it,” one user said.

“Netanyahu thinks Genghis Khan > Jesus Christ. Why is it always OK to say anti-Christian things?” said another.

“Is there any more proof this guy is pure evil and anti-Christian?” wrote another.

Nathanyahu and his right-wing ministers, who represent an apartheid and genocidal regime, are notorious for committing crimes against Muslims and Christians alike in Gaza and across the occupied West Bank.

In addition to that, the Israeli regime forces keep storming and torching the Christian and Muslims' sacred sites across the occupied land on a daily basis.

Netanyahu’s remarks come as US President Donald Trump, along with the Israeli regime, launched a coordinated, unprovoked and reckless war of aggression against Iran.

Critics maintain that Trump had been drawn into this war by the Zionist lobby to watch Israeli interests in the region.

Billions of dollars of American taxpayers, who are mostly Christians, have so far been wasted in the ongoing aggression.
