Iran militia top dog: Israel's destruction non-negotiable
[Jihad Watch] The commander of the Basij militia of Iran's Revolutionary Guards said that "erasing Israel off the map" is "nonnegotiable," according to an Israel Radio report Tuesday.

Militia chief Mohammad Reza Naqdi also threatened Saudi Arabia, saying that the offensive it is leading in Yemen "will have a fate like the fate of Saddam Hussein."

Naqdi's comments were made public as Iran and six world powers prepared Tuesday to issue a general statement agreeing to continue nuclear negotiations in a new phase aimed at reaching a comprehensive accord by the end of June.

In 2014, Naqdi said Iran was stepping up efforts to arm West Bank Palestinians for battle against Israel, adding the move would lead to Israel's annihilation, Iran's Fars news agency reported.

"Arming the West Bank has started and weapons will be supplied to the people of this region," Naqdi said.

"The Zionists should know that the next war won't be confined to the present borders and the Mujahedeen will push them back," he added. Naqdi claimed that much of Hamas's arsenal, training and technical knowhow in the summer conflict with Israel was supplied by Iran.

#1 Well so much for Iran as a stabilizing element in the region.

Geez do Lurch and the other guy ever read their intel summaries to see what Iran is really saying about peace in the ME?

I think we all know the answer.

#2 See GMA NEWS > COSTS NO BARRIER TO SAUDI ARABIA'S INTERVENTION IN YEMEN, despite the KSA's high budget deficits.

Good thing the Saudis are intervening in a year where a possible POTUS Obama's = USA's "QE4" looms over the horizon.

#3 AL-NUSRA REBELS SEIZE LAST SYRIA BORDER CROSSING INTO JORDAN

They've definitely seized it? Darn it, the latest I had was that Jordan closed the crossing because the Syrian side was under attack.

#6 But that's not the true voice of 'real' islam. Everybody knows that! All real Americans know that!

They're the only real Americans left - those that still love Champ.

#7 ...So, let me see if I have this straight:

"Death to America, death to Israel, we want nukes NOW!!!" = no problem.

"Sorry, but I don't want to make you a wedding cake."= OMGEVILDESIPICABLECRUELPEOPLEWHOHATE

OK, I think I got it.

#11 If the evil Jews control/own all the media how come this story isn't all over the news?

Shouldn't CNN be covering this like a Malaysian airliner going missing? Shouldn't this be on the front page of the WAPO and Slimes in bold letters?

Hope the Israelis are planning for the worst cause that's what they're going to get from our regime.

#12 Ever wonder if Jimmy Carter has any regrets about backstabbing the Shah?

#13 I'd say "no." Jimmy has a fetish for despots, as long as they're not tied to the U.S.

#14 Better days are indeed behind us. In the mid 60's, Mobile Training Teams (MTT's) from the 10th SF traveled to Iran to train the Iranian Special Forces, along with Kurdish tribesmen in the mountains of Iran. Don't know when they pulled out, but Carter didn't come along until 1977.

#15 Little wonder 0bumble loves Iran so much and is working so hard to give them all the power in the Middle East.
