"This lawlessness has reached a point when the former official of this regime is shamelessly and blatantly threatening our nuclear scientists with death," Shahrokh Nazemi, a spokesman for Iran's mission to the United Nations, said.
"This madness must not be tolerated," he added, saying that Cohen's comments reflect Israel's long-standing strategy of "criminal sabotage."
