As Israel began unloading the crates of ordnance on the Klos-C now docked in Eilat, and EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton began a landmark visit to Teheran, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu wondered out loud Sunday whether Ashton would raise the issue with her hosts.

“I would like to ask her if she asked here hosts in Tehran about the arms shipment to terrorist organizations, and if not, why not?” Netanyahu said at Sunday’s weekly cabinet meeting.

“No one has the right to ignore from the true murderous activities of the regime in Tehran, and I think that it is fitting for the international community to deal wit the true polices of Iran, not its propaganda,” he said.

Relating to Iranian denials about any involvement in the ship laden with Syrian-missiles, Netanyahu said that the Iranians were blatantly lying, and that Israel would soon present the evidence.

He reiterated that Israel had two aims in intercepting the ship: protecting Israeli citizens, and revealing the true face of Iran.

    Mrs Ashtons answer : Dear Mr Nethanjahu – I’m really sorry that our hands are bound – you know,we love to do business with dictators, tyrants and criminals – money is our God ! For money, we in the EU we do almost everything ! Therefore we love to do business with the nazi regime in Teheran which not only terrorizes the world but first of all the iranian people – but as I said, we dont care for people, we care for money ! And beside of this – just between us – we in the EU, we never liked the jews, we cant help us, we dont like the jews !

    What they say and what they think:

    Ashton: What do have to say about this arms ship and what is your position an such arms shipments? (…God, I hate to ask these question. I don’t give a shit about these arms but I have to pretend …)

    Rouhani: The Iranian goverment has nothing to do with these smugglers. They are just zionist agents who want to give us a bad name and to sabotage our negotiations. I can assure you that our goverment never has and never will engage in such smuggling operations (… We both know that I’m lying but we both don’t care. All we want is to pretent. Now, back to business…)

    Ashton: That’s good enough for me. We’ll publish your answer in order to dispell any concerns (… Now, back to business….)
