Iran’s Supreme Leader says Israel will be defeated

[ECH1969]

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called on the country’s officials to be united in one front against the “common enemy” as he reaffirmed that the state of Israel would eventually be toppled, state-run dailies reported on Monday.

Khamenei highlighted the fact that the heads of Iran’s three power branches – the government, the Majlis (Parliament), and the judiciary - had become unified in their stances.

Khamenei called on officials to identify threats by “the enemies of the state”. “By recognising precisely these plans, we must tackle them wisely and astutely defend the nation and national interests and identity”.

He defended the recent position taken against Israel by Ahmadinejad, who had called for the Jewish state’s destruction, and denounced the international community’s defence of Israel as “shameful”.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is as much an elected leader as Jerry Falwell is.

5. Here is the last sentence of the article.

""It is the resistance in Palestine which will undoubtedly lead to the fall of the Zionist regime”, Khamenei said."

This can be read as saying that it is the contradiction of ongoing occupation that will lead to the end of the current Israeli strategic policy (i.e. Zionist regime).

Your mileage may vary, but I am wary of the media whipping up war fever once again.

7. What did Isreal ever do to Iran?

I mean they are kinda far apart and don't share a common body of water.
