Iranian general threatens to 'annihilate' Israel - UPI.com
UPI reports: "Iran's military head said Saturday that forces are preparing to 'annihilate' Israel's Zionist regime within 25 years after recent
threats between the foes.
The threat from Commander of Iran's Army Maj. Gen. Abdolrahim Mousavi
comes while tension has escalated with an Israeli strike on an Iranian
base in Syria earlier this month. [...] A day earlier, Iranian Brigadier
General Hossein Salami also threatened that the Zionist regime in
Israel could be totally destroyed if recent heightened tensions escalate
to war."
Comment: Maybe the Iranians should not be in Syria to being with? I would note that Netanyahu has twice been to Russia to tell Putin that Israel will not tolerate a permanent Iranian presence in Syria. Putin did nothing. Actually, that's not quiet true, Putin announced that there would be a slow draw-down of Russian forces in Syria. So while the Russia may be leaving the Iranians have shown no indication of doing anything but setting up permanent bases in southern Syria. The Iranian have even recruited thousands of of Shia's from surrounding countries in a kind of militant foreign legion to beef up the Iranian forces. Not a promising sign. If the West does not act to impose an acceptable solution to the Syrian civil war then there's no doubt that there will eventually be a war between Israel and Iran.
