Ebrahim Azizi said in an interview on Friday that making accusations, lying, distorting facts, and misrepresenting issues were characteristic of Israel, adding that there was no doubt about this. Earlier, the U.S. newspaper The New York Times, citing unnamed officials, had claimed that Israel had shared information with the United States alleging that Iran had considered using chemical weapons against its enemies.
