Regardless of whether the world powers and Iran sign a nuclear deal by the new Friday deadline, chants of “Death to Israel” are expected to reverberate throughout Iran that day as it happens to fall on the anti-Israel Quds day.
Quds day – initiated in 1979 by the Islamic Republic’s founder Ayatollah Khomeini – is an annual event of fiery anti-Israel protests in Iran on the last Friday of Ramadan that attracts tens of thousands of people.
Ayatollah Mohammad Taqi Vaezi, one of some 80 members of Iran’s Assembly of Experts that is a supervisory body around Iran’s Supreme Leader, was quoted Wednesday as saying that shouting the “Death to the Zionist regime” chant prevents Israeli “aggression.”
The Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) ran a story Wednesday quoting him as saying that Quds Day is a “universal cry against the Zionists.”
“The Zionists never change policy and continue their crimes and aggressions against different nations,” he said.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry, according to the news service, issued a statement to mark the coming day, saying that the “restoration of lasting peace and tranquility in the Middle East can be attained through full observance of legitimate rights of oppressed Palestinian nation.”

The list, Ping

FYI, as far as I know, the rallies in Tehran for this are deserted by all but the most fanatical Khomeini-ites. The Irani on the street hates the Ayatollahs and the Saudis much more than they hate Israel — in fact, the hatred of the Ayatollahs to Israel make the people less inclined to hate Israel as “everything that comes from the mullahs is false”
The Iranians went for the “North Korean Equation” and let the State Dept. put Wendy Sherman in charge of these talks.
This woman, a former Social worker failed at her negotiations with the N. Koreans so, they promoted her and let her conduct these failed talks too. Interesting, the Clintons and Obamas are letting this Jewish lady completely screw up the agreements. Then Obamski can say to Israel, “Look, the lady's a Jew, what do you guys want”?
Deadline-Redline, same thing.
So, what kind of observance of Al Quds Day will the Obama family be making? Thanks Nachum.
