TEHRAN, Sept. 28 (Xinhua) -- Iran's Foreign Ministry on Friday dismissed recent allegations by the Israeli prime minister over Tehran's nuclear program as "false and fabricated," according to the ministry's website.

"After the United States and Israel's failure to play out anti-Iran scenarios, these farcical claims and shows by the prime minister of the occupying regime (of Israel) were not unexpected," Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qasemi said.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday showed a photo during his speech at the UN General Assembly, accusing Iran of having a "secret atomic warehouse" for nuclear weapons program.

"This is a new show by the authorities of the occupying regime of Israel which we strongly reject, though it is not worth talking about," said Qasemi.

"Israel and the United States sought to represent an unpleasant image of Iran at this year's UN General Assembly meeting, but they failed to do so," he was quoted as saying.
