FN:s generalsekreterare kritiserar Iran

FN:s generalsekreterare Ban sade idag vid ett möte med Israels FN ambassadör att de senaste dagarnas uttalanden från Iran är "oacceptabla och oförlåtliga," skriver Jerusalem Post.

Haaretz skriver att talmannen i det iranska parlamentet idag i en tidningsintervju sade att "nedräkningen till Israels förintelse har börjat".

Några andra uttalanden från Iran (Haaretz) :

"With such anger, the definite death of Israel will arrive sooner," Rahim Safavi told the official IRNA news agency.

Meanwhile, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Wednesday called Israel a "filthy germ" and "savage beast" established by Western states in their bid to dominate Middle East nations.

Guards commander-in-chief Mohammad Ali Jafari was quoted by the Fars News Agency on Monday as saying: "In the near future, we will witness the destruction of the cancerous germ of Israel by the powerful and competent hands of the Hezbollah combatants."

Last month, Ahmadinejad called on the West to acknowledge Israel's "imminent collapse" and to "stop supporting the Zionists, as [their] regime reached its final stage." "Accept that the life of Zionists will sooner or later come to an end," the Iranian president said in a televised speech.
