The regime’s minister of military affairs Benny Gantz also accused Iran of seeking nuclear weapons, saying the military option against Iran must always be on the table.

The WHO chief says such moves will only increase inequalities in different parts of the world. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has also described the vaccine availability in Africa as "immorally low". Last Thursday, South African scientists declared the discovery of the new Omicron variant. The new strain has already been detected in over a dozen countries, including European Union member states.
