Ahmadinejad also says Israel will ‘disappear’
Criminal and terrorist Zionist regime has reached the end of its work, Iranian president tells foreign guests marking 19th anniversary of death of country’s late revolutionary leader. ‘Satanic power’ of United States faces destruction, he adds
Reuters:
Iran’s president said on Monday Israel would soon disappear off the map and that the “satanic power” of the United States faced destruction, in his latest verbal attack on the Islamic Republic’s arch-foes.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was speaking at a gathering of foreign guests marking this week’s 19th anniversary of the death of Iran’s late revolutionary leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, in 1989, the official IRNA news agency said.
“You should know that the criminal and terrorist Zionist regime which has 60 years of plundering, aggression and crimes in its file has reached the end of its work and will soon disappear off the geographical scene,” he said.
Turning to the United States, he said the era of decline and destruction of its “satanic power” had begun and added: “The bell on the countdown of the destruction of the empire of power and wealth has begun to ring.”
Opposition to Israel is a fundamental principle in Shiite Muslim Iran, which backs Palestinian militants opposed to peace with the Jewish state.
A 2005 statement by Ahmadinejad saying that Israel should be “wiped off the map” outraged the international community.
In April, a senior Iranian army commander said Iran will respond to any military attack from Israel by “eliminating” it, in comments condemned by Washington.
The United States, which severed ties with Iran shortly after its 1979 Islamic revolution, is leading efforts to isolate Tehran over its disputed nuclear program.
Some analysts have speculated that Israel might attack Iran to stop its nuclear activities, which the West fears are a front for weapons development. Iran, which does not recognize Israel, insists it wants nuclear technology only for electricity.
Iran, the world’s fourth-largest oil producer, says it has developed ballistic missiles able to hit Israel and US bases in the region.
Washington says it wants a diplomatic resolution to the nuclear dispute but has not ruled out military action if that fails. Tehran insists it will not bow to Western pressure.

History is going to look back and wonder why we continued to have our enemies tell us exactly what they planned to do, and yet sat on our hands and did nothing.

June 2nd, 2008 at 11:22 amBut Obama is going to have a summit with Akmandinjad and convince him that we are OK, and he will convince him, with his brilliant oratorical skills, not to develop nuclear weapons and that the Holocaust actually occurred and that Israel is OK. I know Obama will do this, he said so. He can talk so much better than all the other talkers who have been talking for years to Iran, N. Korea, Palestinians, et cetera.
June 2nd, 2008 at 11:28 amDidn’t I read something here in the past few days about a possible Iranian plant inside the Hussein campaign? I’m sure the dick-faced midget is banking on Hussein winning the election and inside information flowing freely to Iran.
Fuck appeasing this asshole. Can we please, please, please just send a missile up his ass already?
