‘Iran ready to wipe Israel off the map’
Dudi Cohen, Ynet, Feb 24 2012
As speculations over a possible strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities grow, the Islamic Republic is exacerbating its rhetoric. Speaking at a ceremony honoring past Hezbollah commanders, Deputy Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi on Friday warned Israel against mounting such an attack:
Any act by the Zionist regime against Iran will bring about its destruction. Hezbollah is at the forefront of the fight against Israel and it is growing stronger by the day. Israel is weaker than it has ever been and its army is tired and humiliated. This is why it is trying to solve its problems by talking about taking action against Iran. But these are ridiculous statements. Iran’s warriors are ready and willing to wipe Israel off the map.
