IRANIAN COMMANDER: ISRAEL WILL BE GONE IN 10 YEARS:
Posted on
A senior Iranian military commander predicted on 21 Nov. 2016 that the Palestinian Arabs would "get rid of Israel” in the next 10 years. Speaking to students near Tehran, Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naqdi said the Palestinian territories will be "freed from Israel's occupation” within a decade, expressing hope that the ideology that led to Iran's Islamic Revolution would help the Arabs to eliminate Israel. Naqdi further claimed that the Islamic Revolution helped Iran get rid of the United States over 35 years ago, rescued the country from Saddam Hussein's aggression and helped the Lebanese to get rid of the Americans as well.
"The comments are another example of the anti-Israel and anti-American rhetoric that is constantly spoken by Iranian officials. Chief among them is Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has referred to Israel as a "cancer” and in the past threatened to "annihilate" the Israeli cities of Tel Aviv and Haifa. In March 2016 the Supreme Leader ruled out his country having ties with the United States or "the Zionist regime” – that is, Israel – claiming he had proof that the United States was planning a coup in Iran. In May of this year a senior Iranian military commander threatened Israel and claimed that his country can destroy the Jewish state "in less than eight minutes”. Earlier this month, Iran’s Foreign Minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, claimed Israel is the biggest threat to humanity, world peace and international security.
