Iran leader: There will be no such thing as Israel in 25 years

[Morphine Prince 109,655]

(CNN) - Israel will not exist in another quarter century, Iran's supreme leader, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said during a speech this week in Tehran, state-run media report.

"I'd say (to Israel) that they will not see (the end) of these 25 years," the Islamic Republic News Agency quoted Khamenei as saying Wednesday at the Imam Khomeini Mosque.

Khamenei raised the issue while discussing the recent nuclear deal between Iran and the so-called P5+1 -- the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, China and Russia -- by which, among other things, Iran agreed to cut its uranium stockpiles and centrifuges and limit uranium enrichment in exchange for the West lifting sanctions against the Islamic Republic.

The agreement allows the International Atomic Energy Agency to access Iranian facilities for verifications. Still, the Obama administration has faced fierce criticism over the agreement from both sides of the aisle, and especially from Republicans who have promised to scuttle the deal despite the fact the President reportedly has sufficient support to veto any such measure.

Some of the agreement's measures will remain in place for 25 years. Seizing on that time frame, Khamenei noted that some observers say it should allay Israel's fears about a nuclear Iran during that time.

"God willing, there will be no such thing as a Zionist regime in 25 years. Until then, struggling, heroic and jihadi morale will leave no moment of serenity for Zionists," he said, according to IRNA.

From London, where he is meeting with UK Prime Minister David Cameron, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took the opportunity to reiterate his opposition to the nuclear deal, saying that Khamenei's words leave its supporters with no "room for illusion."

"He has made it clear that the U.S. is the Great Satan and that Iran intends to destroy the state of Israel. This will not happen. Israel is a strong country and it will become even stronger," Netanyahu said in a statement. "However, the conclusion that arises from the remarks of the tyrant in Tehran is that all responsible countries must cooperate in order to stop Iran's terrorism and aggression which, to my regret, will only increase as a result of the agreement."

I hope nothing happens in my lifetime but I'm almost sure it will

As much as I loathe Israel's violence against Palestine he is insane. This is nazism and bull****. Besides everyone knows Iran finances the IS..

It will require nukes to make this prediction happen. In which case, there may not be any such place as Tehran standing either.

Hopefully more moderate elements in Iran will come to power before such a tragedy occurs. I have hope ... crazy revolutions tend to moderate after 40 years or so.

Zionist regime or Israeli state? It's not exactly the same.

Iran is calling Israel "Zionist regime" because they are not recognizing Israel as a state.

So for them it's the same..

Well, I'd say the terms are synonymous. Iran doesn't recognize Israel as a state so he refers to it as a Zionist regime, and if there is no such thing as a Zionist regime, there will be no Israel. Israel IS the product of zionism.

Yes I know, I'm just wondering what would happen or would anything change if Leftists would get to power in Israel. 

Cause there are Jews living in Iran who oppose Zionism.

nothing would change. It's the hatred against Jews. Iran is a mess of a country. It's a shame that the western world supported the Islamic Revolution

You are so 1948 

Zionism: is a movement of Jews and Jewish culture that supports the re-establishment of a Jewish homeland in the territory defined as the historic Land of Israel.

Israel aka Zionism, is a reality since 67 years! Update yourself and move on!
