"His [Pence's] hateful accusations against Iran, including his ignorant allegation of anti-Semitism against the heirs of a man described as 'Messiah' in the Torah for saving Jews, are both ridiculous and dangerous," Mohammad Javad Zarif told the 55th Munich Security Conference in Germany on Sunday.

Attributing Pence's remarks to Washington's age-old grudge against the Islamic Republic, Iran's top diplomat said, "We've never been forgiven by the United States for having exercised our right to self-determination."

After visiting the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland on Friday, the US vice president repeated his harsh rhetoric against Iran by accusing Tehran of Nazi-like anti-Semitism, .

Addressing the Munich conference on Saturday, Pence also claimed that Iran "openly advocates another Holocaust and it seeks the means to achieve it."
