Reuters - Iran�s Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif on Friday denounced an accord between the United Arab Emirates and Israel to normalise ties as �theatre� fabricated by the United States.

�They (U.S.) think that by fabricating the theatre like the one that happened yesterday unfortunately, that they can determine the fate of Palestine,� Zarif said in televised remarks during a visit to Lebanon.

�The current U.S. administration has proven that it is not capable of understanding the political realities in our region.�
