While Secretary of State John Kerry and President Obama do their best to paper over the brutality of the Iranian regime and force through a nuclear agreement, Irans religious leader has another issue on his mind: The destruction of Israel.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has published a new book called Palestine, a 416-page screed against the Jewish state. A blurb on the back cover credits Khamenei as The flagbearer of Jihad to liberate Jerusalem.

Neither “imha” nor “zawal” are persian words.
“Imha” is Turkish I believe (Khamenei, ethnically, is actually an Azari Turk himself). “Zawal” is an arabic word.
I think it is interesting that those 2 words are used - seems to me they are meant to have ‘a broader appeal’, to the muslim world.
