JERUSALEM, June 27 (Xinhua) -- Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman on Wednesday slammed remarks by a senior Iranian official alleging that Jews control international drug trade.

Speaking at the UN-sponsored "International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking," held in Tehran on Tuesday, Iran's First Vice President Mohammad Reza Rahimi claimed that Jews were " inciting global drug trade and addiction in a bid to annihilate non-Jewish communities," according to Iran's Fars News Agency.

Rahimi said that his country would "pay for anybody who can research and find one single Zionist who is an addict. They do not exist."

Lieberman, commenting on Rahimi's remarks, said "The Iranian regime is not composed of crazy people, but of anti-Semitic fanatics, who have a detailed worldwide plan, part of which, as they admit openly, is the destruction of the State of Israel."

According to the foreign minister, "UN representatives and representatives of European nations are present at the conferences held in Tehran, in which the worst kind of anti- Semitics remarks are made," Army radio reported.
