Zionist regime will disappear one day: Leader

Tue, 26 Jan 2010

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says that Middle Eastern countries will witness the disappearance of Israel.

"Undoubtedly, the day will come when the nations of the region will witness the disappearance of the Zionist regime," IRNA quoted Ayatollah Khamenei as saying during a meeting with Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz in Tehran on Tuesday.

"Whether that day will be near or far depends on the actions of Islamic countries and Muslim nations," the Leader added.

Ayatollah Khamenei stated that strengthening ties with Islamic countries is a pillar of Iran's foreign policy and expressed hope that the Mauritanian president's visit to Iran would enhance the level of ties between the two countries.

The Leader hailed Mauritania's decision to sever ties with Israel and observed that the move could be a "good model for some Arab governments."

Ayatollah Khamenei said that Israel is a "major threat to the Muslim world" because it is trying to dominate the region.

The Mauritanian president said that Iran's scientific and technological progress makes Muslims around the world proud.

He also called for the expansion of ties between Iran and Mauritania.
