Excerpt -
Tehran, 7 Feb. (AKI) - Iran's ambassador to Syria, Mohammad Hassan Akhtari, said on Wednesday that Israel's destruction was imminent. "Concrete facts show that destroying Israel is possible," said the diplomat, in a speech during celebrations of the 28th anniversary of the 1979 Iranian revolution. "I hope I will be able to celebrate the next anniversary of the Islamic revolution in Palestine, as some elements and facts show that the destruction of the Zionist state is not only possible but imminent," he said.
The diplomat also expressed the hope that "with the destruction in the coming future of Israel, all Palestinian refugees will be able to return to the homes they were chased from half a century ago."
