Israel and the United States will soon be destroyed, Iran's President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday during a meeting with Syria's foreign
minister, the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) website said
in a report.
"Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad… assured that the United States
and the Zionist regime of Israel will soon come to the end of their
lives," the Iranian president was quoted as saying.
"Sparking discord among Muslims, especially between the Shiites and
Sunnis, is a plot hatched by the Zionists and the US for dominating
regional nations and looting their resources," Ahmadinejad added,
according to the report.
The Iranian president also directly tied events in Lebanon to a wider
plan aimed at Israel's destruction. He called on "regional countries" to
"support the Islamic resistance of the Lebanese people and strive to
enhance solidarity and unity among the different Palestinian groups in a
bid to pave the ground for the undermining of the Zionist regime whose
demise is, of course, imminent."
Ahmadinejad has threatened the State of Israel with annihilation several
times in recent months, and has recently added the US and Britain to the
list of countries he says will be destroyed.
Syria's Foreign Minister, Wailed Mualem, accused the US of attempting to
carry out a "massacre of Muslims" and of sowing "discord among Islamic
faiths in the region."
Mualem called on "regional states to pave the ground for the
establishment of peace and tranquillity… while preventing further
genocide of the Muslims," the IRIB website said.
