An Iranian newspaper has accused Israel of intentionally selling poisoned foodstuffs to Arab countries. An article that appeared on Wednesday in the English-language Teheran Times alleged that "health experts... have said that some of Israel's export commodities, and particularly the foodstuffs, are carcinogenic due to contamination by radiation from the Dimona nuclear power plant."
The paper claims there has been "an increase in leukemia and liver and stomach cancer in the Arab countries which have imported Israeli foodstuffs," including in Jordan, Egypt, and Morocco.
