‘Israel will not live to see another 15 years’ says Iran’s Supreme Leader
The Jewish Chronicle ^ | 05/26/2026 | Ali Hamedani

Posted on 05/26/2026 7:07:04 AM PDT by Jan_Sobieski

Iran’s new supreme leader has declared “Israel will not live to see another 15 years” in a chilling affirmation of the Islamic Republic’s enmity towards the Jewish state.

“Death to Israel” and “Death to America” remain the regime’s slogans, according to the statement from Mojtaba Khamenei aired on Tuesday morning by Iran’s state broadcaster.

The rhetoric echoes the claim a decade by his father Ali Khamenei, the previous Supreme Leader, that Israel would not survive another 25 years.

The comments come as an Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commander told the JC that the “biggest mistake” of the regime’s enemies was killing the elder Khamenei.

The son is reported to have authorised negotiations with President Trump’s administration, but also appears determined to reassure the regime’s hardline ideological base.

In his statement broadcast today in Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei said that the slogans “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” would “continue to be the slogans of the Islamic Ummah, especially its youth”.

He continued: “The region will not return to past conditions, and Washington will no longer have a safe place to maintain military bases in the region.”

Mojtaba Khamenei has not been seen publicly since he took the position of Supreme Leader, replacing his father who was killed in an air strike on Tehran on the opening day of the recent campaign by the US and Israel…

Are you retarded? We ignored our OWN intelligence about Bin Laden and the hijackers, from Hamburg (about which Israel did warn) to Miami. We allowed them free access to flight schools and ignored it when their visas expired. Hilarious that this is the example you chose. Instead of one like the Tsarnaev brothers (Boston Marathon attacks) who Israel warned us about, and Robert Mueller disregarded it.

I thought the Russians warned us about the Tsarnaevs.

Coincidentally the late Henry Kissinger said back in 2015 or so that it was likely Israel (the nation, of course) would not exist past another ten years or so.

Famous last words! 10 years later, Kissinger doesn’t exist anymore.

Liz, you’re so smart! What US aid have the Islamic nations received since 1946?

Israel won’t be exterminated. Their nuclear arsenal ensures their enemies will disappear first. ;-)

Mojtaba is “ the Wizard of Oz”
No one sees him
Someone pumps out sound and fury in his name
Iran too has an autopen

“Leave the Middle East to God.”

God didn’t get the middle east into the problems they have, God won’t get them out. They were created by man, and man has to repair them. I would think that’s pretty obvious as Islam, the perp of most of the problems there, has been around since 610CE, starting over 1400 years ago. And God had plenty of time to take care of it if God wanted. God gave man free choice, it’s up to man.

And as long as Iran is allowed to enrich uranium, and build a missile with reported mach 16 speed and can travel 12,000K, Khorramshahr-5 (or Qaem-105), then the US is a target and Trump needs to protect the US citizens. You can’t do that from the CONUS as our firing a nuclear missile will open the gates for WWIII. Ounce of prevention.

Think of Israel as the equivalent of a giant speed bump between muslim world civilization hostile to the values of western civilization, and its unimpeded expansion into the entire Med

Good question GG2.

Trump has to some extent “upped the ante”.

Regional sovereigns other than Israel are being asked, in the wake of the present Herculean effort to better things by a non-regional sovereign (i.e., us, the U.S.) to, at long last, formally broom hostility towards Israel from their domestic polities.

They may not have been expecting to be called upon to do this. But yet, given the overall situation, it seems plausible that, upon consideration, they may all agree to do this.

If they do this, and if Iran reflexively holds fast to its decades long unfair antipathy specifically toward Israel, well...it seems as if it would become impossible for Iran to avoid becoming an utter pariah )including, possibly most importantly, economically, generally, and also in terms of increased domestic infrastructure investment—WORTHWHILE upgrades, including Israeli technology). With, now, with everyone signed onto the Abraham Accords, exactly zero friends to raise their hands and volunteer to help Iran continue to try to destroy Israel.

I would wager that Iran will no longer exist as an entity in 15 years. Possibly Persia, but not Iran. Who will take me up?

As a country, Iran is nothing more than a distraction. The real concern is Islam and its inextricable evil movement against worldly forces of good. I have come to believe that the coming battle of Armageddon will be where Allah, i.e., the Devil, and his followers lock up in a final duel with Jesus Christ and his followers. If we pause and observe how things are unfolding, this scenario seems all too clear.

“For we walk by faith, not by sight.”

2 Corinthians 5:7

Abraham and Sarah were so tired of waiting for their promised child -as Sarah was far past menopause - she finally gave in and had Abraham impregnate Hagar...

It created lots of problems. Trying to speed up God or play God never ends well in the Bible.

the Koran says to kill all of the non-believers and out breed them and enslave all found, do you think they will disobey their word of God.

Israel announced it is seeking a new 20-year security tax dollar con with the United States that replaces the current 10-year memorandum of understanding (MOU) that expires in 2028. Israel is aiming to solidify billions more in US tax dollar military aid until 2048.

Right, ACHMED, you tireless antisemitic reptile.
