Ahmadinejad predicts collapse of Israel, US in near future

Jun 3, 2011

Tehran - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Friday predicted the disappearance of Israel and its main ally, the United States, in the near future.

'I am certain that the region will soon witness the collapse of Israel and the US,' Ahmadinejad said in a speech at the shrine of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the late supreme leader of the 1979 Islamic revolution.

June 4 marks the 22nd anniversary of the takeover by the ayatollah, who was subsequently replaced in June 1989 by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as Iran's supreme leader.

Ahmadinejad accused Israel of being the main factor in regional and global insecurity and blamed the administration of US President Barack Obama for supporting the Jewish state.

The Iranian president caused international condemnation in 2005 when he said that Israel should be eliminated from the Middle East map and transferred to Europe or North America.

International isolation of the Islamic republic escalated after Ahmadinejad held a Holocaust conference in 2006 in which he questioned that the killing of 6 million Jews in Europe during World War II had ever happened.
