Iran Itches for Israel to Strike First
"A man with an impure spirit came from the tombs to meet him. … Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones." (Mark 5:2, 5)
Israel’s enemies and peace partners alike increased their slanderous claims last month that Israel has incited violence and terrorism against the Palestinians on the Temple Mount. These claims are moving regional leaders in Iran and elsewhere to make aggressive threats.
The Iranian army's commander-in-chief Maj. Gen. Ataollah Salehi voiced hope last week for a preliminary strike from Israel on Iran — an act that would give the Islamic Republic an excuse to finally destroy Israel while casting full culpability onto the Jewish state.
"We will certainly destroy Israel," Salehi said, last Tuesday, at a Tehran parade that began Iran's Defense Week and commemorated the start of the 1980–1988 Iran-Iraq War.
During his September 11 speech, Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Israel would not survive another quarter century. Last Tuesday, Salehi underlined this hope.
"We long for Israel to take action against us as soon as possible so we will be able to destroy it before 25 years are up," Salehi said. (Israel HaYom)
