Senior Iranian Official Says ‘Israel Must Be Annihilated’
The Iranian parliament speaker’s international affairs adviser has said that his country’s “ultimate slogan” is that “Israel should be annihilated.”
“Our positions against the usurper Zionist regime have not changed at all; Israel should be annihilated and this is our ultimate slogan,”
Hossein Sheikholeslam told reporters on Tuesday, Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency reported. The Iranian official was protesting the British foreign secretary’s contention earlier this week that Iran’s position on Israel had changed. According to past media accounts, Sheikholeslam was among those who took American diplomats hostage in Tehran in 1979. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly pointed to the Iranian leadership’s aspirations to destroy the Jewish state as one of several reasons he believes the Iran nuclear deal spearheaded by President Barack Obama is dangerous.Indeed, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei earlier this month tweeted his support for “resistance groups” fighting Israel, a euphemism for armed groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah.
