UK, Israel, US to `vanish like the pharaohs`: Ahmadinejad
Tehran, Dec 20: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has
predicted that Britian, Israel and the United States would eventually
disappear from the world like the Egyptian Pharaonic kings.
"The oppressive powers will disappear while the Iranian people
will stay. Any power that is close to god will survive while the powers
who are far from god will disappear like the Pharaohs," he said yesterday,
according to Iranian news agencies.
"Today, it is the United States, Britain and the Zionist
regime which are doomed to disappear as they have moved far away from the
teachings of God," he said in a speech in the western town of Javanroud.
"It is a divine promise."
Ahmadinejad`s comments were the latest salvo by the deeply
religious president against the West and Israel. He has repeatedly
predicted that Israel is doomed to disappear.
The remarks come amid mounting efforts by UN Security Council
powers to agree a resolution imposing sanctions on Iran over its
controversial nuclear programme.
"They are threatening us with sanctions. But they have to know
that nuclear energy is the desire of all the (Iranian) people and the
people will insist on their right," Ahmadinejad said.
