“Israel bears no animosity towards the Iranian people. We have deep respect and aspire to cooperate with them to bring about a better reality in the region. The problem is intrinsic to the Iranian regime and its conduct, particularly regarding the nuclear issue. This is a regime that calls for ‘Death to the United States, Great Britain and Israel’. The Iranian regime spreads instability, supports terror, and oppresses its own people. It is impossible to accept atomic weapons in the hands of such a regime.”
Israel’s Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon recently addressed the people of Iran on Kol Yisrael Persian radio. Read more about his address here.

Iran was, of course, the second country to recognise Israel.
