A senior Iranian official on Tuesday said Israel “should be annihilated,” and that the thawing relations with the West would not translate into a shift in Tehran’s position concerning the Jewish state.
Hussein Sheikholeslam, a foreign affairs adviser to parliament speaker Ali Larijani, told Iranian media that contrary to remarks by British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond, “Our positions against the usurper Zionist regime have not changed at all; Israel should be annihilated and this is our ultimate slogan.”
Hammond was in Iran on Monday for the reopening of the UK embassy in Tehran, and said that Iranian President Hassan Rouhani had indicated a “more nuanced approach” to Israel’s existence. Hammond said Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s “revolutionary sloganizing” should be distinguished from “what Iran actually does in the conduct of its foreign policy.”
“We’ve got to, as we do with quite a number of countries, distinguish the internal political consumption rhetoric from the reality of the way they conduct their foreign policy,” the Guardian quoted Hammond saying.
Sheikholeslam told a Hamas news outlet earlier this month that Iran has resisted pressure exerted by the P5+1 world powers during the nuclear negotiations to halt its political involvement in Gaza, Syria and Yemen.
“These powers admitted that the reason for their pressure on us is our position on Israel,” he said. “We told them that we reject the existence of any Israeli on this earth.”

Israel is not going to go anywhere . The bible says they are going to survive .
The bible tells us where Iran is going to go (into the pit)
Iran is Elam , in fact the exact area where Iran has it’s nuclear plants is in the exact part of Iran that was ancient Elam.
(Ezekiel 32:24) There is Elam and all her multitude round about her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which are gone down uncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth, which caused their terror in the land of the living; yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit.
(Ezekiel 32:25) They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude: her graves are round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword: though their terror was caused in the land of the living, yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of them that be slain.
From his mouth to God’s ears. Somehow, I doubt He’s on board. So, FAIL . . . .
That can not be repeated enough. 0bama is a STUPID and evil man.

"My Plan is Working!
Oh, and Death to America!"

Ah, yes. No reason for the West to be concerned about that. “It’s only Jooos! we’re after.” An assertion repeatedly proven false since 1938.
Psalms 124 and 129.
‘Believe what people say they want to do to you.’
Since 9-11, I ‘pledged’ to believe what someone says is going to happen.
If/when it doesn’t - great - if it’s a negative action.
To ignore can be to one’s detriment.
Ditto: give me/us back the good ol’ USA!!!
