Well That's Your Opinion
This is Iran's response to Israel's (I thought) very polite request that they cease constructing genocidal weapons:
"Comments by officials of the Zionist regime are not worth an answer," Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said. "The Zionist regime is not eligible to express any ideas since it is the source of tension, crisis and trouble in the region."
What he really meant to say is that "The Zionist regime is not eligible to express any ideas since they're Jews", but that's neither here nor there.
Instead, focus on the idea that this is Iran accusing Israel of destabilizing the region. Sharon has repeatedly made it clear that Israel is not going to attack Iran. Which is just like Iran promising not to attack Israel with nuclear weapons, except the opposite:
One of Iran’s most influential ruling clerics called on the Muslim states to use nuclear weapon against Israel, assuring them that while such an attack would annihilate Israel, it would cost them "damages only". The speech by former Iranian President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani failed to catch the attention of the western press but made waves in the Middle East.
It'd be funny if the Europeans didn't think it was true.
