[Ahmadinejad] said earlier there is no reason for Israel “the greatest insult to human dignity” to exist and it would soon disappear.
Another of his outrageous speeches was delivered Friday to a pro-Palestinian rally marking the Islami Republic’s “al Qods Day” (Jerusalem Liberation Day). In further inflammatory remarks, Ahmadinejad said “the world knows the US and Britain are enemies of the Iranian nation.” He warned European nations not to harm Iran, saying that if anger in the region boiled over, Europe would get hurt because of its support for Israel. “Europe must distance itself from Israel at once. That is Iran’s ultimatum. “He went on to brand the UN Security Council and its decisions “illegitimate.”
....His harsh words followed ....
- ... the Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert’s statement in Moscow this week after he met with Russian leaders: “... In no case...will we reconcile with nuclear arms in Iranian hands. There is no margin for error here.”
- .... the arrival in the Persian Gulf of the giant US carrier Iwo Jima with its Expeditionary Strike Group to join the American naval, air and marine might piling up opposite Iran’s shores.
Next week too, the Security Council convenes to discussion a form of sanctions against Iran for refusing to desist from enriching uranium.
