Israel on its way to Collapse

Islam Times reports from Al-Manar: In a speech marking the event, the president also reiterated his view that the presence of foreign forces is causing conflict in the region.

"The Zionist regime is on its way to collapse," Ahmadinejad said.
"This regime is the main instigator of sedition and conflict in the region," the Iranian president added. "This is the will of the regional nations that after 60 odd years, the root of this corrupt microbe and the main reason for insecurity in the region be pulled out...Its supporters and creators ought to stop backing it and allow the regional nations and the Palestinians to settle things with them," he said.

Soon after his speech, Ahmadinejad presided over a parade of Iranian military personnel, members of the elite Revolutionary Guards and the Basij.
While parading, the soldiers were chanting, "On the order of Khamenei, I will give my life!" and "Nuclear energy is our right."

The military also displayed on the back of trucks about a dozen home-built drones, which it claims can be used for surveillance and for combat, as well as a range of missiles.

Ahmadinejad also demanded foreign forces quit the region. "The presence of foreign forces is the cause of conflict in our region. They must leave," he said, adding that Iran's military might was enough of a "deterrent" for any "enemy" of the Islamic Republic.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Imam Ali Khamenei reiterated on Friday that using nuclear weapons was forbidden in Islam. The West accuses Iran of building nuclear weapons, something Iran firmly denies. Israel and the US have been threatening the Islamic Republic with the use of force against its nuclear facilities. Leaders in Tehran have vowed to target US forces around Iran as well as Israel should they launch any attack against it.
