Iran’s so-called “supreme leader,” the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, celebrated his birthday by sending out death wishes to Israel via Twitter.
What a guy.
He wrote, on his 79th birthday, that President Donald Trump’s peace deal would go down in flames and as a result, “the Palestinian nation will stand” and the “fabricated Zionist regime” — meaning Israel — would be wiped from the face of the earth.

Visitors to the Twitter feed of Iran’s “supreme leader”on Monday were treated to the incongruous sight of multicolored balloons floating above a series of incendiary anti-Israel tweets.
The celebratory mood on what is normally a rather somber feed marks Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s 79th birthday — which falls on Tuesday, July 17, in the Gregorian calendar.
But as the last balloon disappeared from the screen, so did the jollity — leaving only a thread of threatening messages warning of the Jewish state’s coming destruction.
Denouncing US President Donald Trump’s “deal of the century” proposal for an Israeli-Palestinian peace as a “satanic, vicious plot,” Khamenei declared, “The turbulent dream that Al-Quds [Jerusalem] would be given to the Zionists will never come true.”
He continued: “The Palestinian nation will stand against it and Muslim nations will back the Palestinian nation, never letting that happen.”
As to his ultimate intentions towards Israel, Khamenei left little to the imagination in a further tweet.
“By God’s grace, the Palestinian nation will certainly gain victory over the enemies and will witness the day when the fabricated Zionist regime will be eradicated,” he vowed.
Khamenei’s birthday rant was excerpted from a speech he delivered in Tehran on Monday to organizers of Iran’s hajj — the annual pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia that faithful Muslims are required to make at least once during their lifetimes.
In the same breath as attacking Israel, Khamenei also turned his ire on the Saudis — an increasingly common linkage among Iran’s leaders anxious about the common strategic interests between Jerusalem and Riyadh that have emerged in recent years.
With the hajj scheduled to begin on Aug. 19, Khamenei fanned tensions with Iran’s Saudi neighbor, asserting that Mecca’s holy sites “belong to all Muslims, not to the rulers of Saudi Arabia.”
Arguing that a “true” hajj must include a “disavowal of the infidels,” Khamenei told the gathered Islamic leaders that the pilgrimage “is the best opportunity and a practical scene to demonstrate the unification of religion and politics.”
Khamenei also called for a fresh investigation into a 2015 crush during the hajj that killed hundreds of pilgrims, blaming the tragedy on the Saudi authorities’ alleged indifference to the safety of the participants.
The defiant tone of Khamenei’s rhetoric has not wavered in the face of mounting pressures on Iran’s regime in the wake of the US decision in June to abandon the 2015 nuclear deal with Tehran. With the US expecting renewed sanctions on Iran to be locked in by November, the Islamic Republic has been convulsed by anti-regime protests in several cities, leading to thousands of arrests.
Protests against Iran’s rulers spilled into neighboring Iraq on Sunday, as two demonstrators were killed and dozens more were wounded by security forces during rallies and marches demanding an end to Iranian interference in Iraq’s national affairs.
In Baghdad, hundreds of protesters closed a highway at the entrance to the Iraqi capital’s northwestern Shula neighborhood, chanting “Iran, out out! Baghdad is free!” and “The people want to overthrow the regime,” the AFP news agency reported.

If fabricated then what is “palestinians” ? No palestinians existed before WW2. Its jordanians/Egyptian nomads who have been living off billions in aid from non-muslim countries while Muslim countries spend zilch on them.
They are following their perfect man – Moham-mad. And if you dare expose truth about him they will keel you !
just like the jihadis in Indianapolis are doing http://bit.ly/2rVCN7E

Jordanians claim to be Palestinians, so if Palestinians do not exist, and the Hashemite Family were Saudis before claiming the “palestinian” heritage, they should return to Saudi Arabia where Muslims belong.

Nope! He has to vomit up hatred for others. These people are consumed with hatred and violence.

To a moslem, ANY moslem, that IS a celebration. As, ALL human beings know, moslems are the vilest of ALL creatures.

I guess ol’ diaper head would consider this protecting the Jews. These creeps would lie even if the truth would accomplish their goals better, they’re so used to it…

He looks like a helpless evil devil going down in flames, because economically and politically they are choking on their own smoke . Unfortunately Israel has to be more wary because desperate governments do desperate things . Hopefully not. Their gov’t is under pressure by their own people as well as well as Trump’s reversal of obam a deal.

Eradicate Iran, nuke it; why put off the inevitable. Iran is a deep-seated sponsor and doer of terrorism, Anti-Israel and needless to say, anti-American. A preemptive strike will save lives in the long run; Israel will prevail but will America and others while waiting for Israel to wipe out the civilization’s most aggressive and threatening menace.

You mean this deranged ucker is still around?? Remember the madman Kohameni? Died with part of his feet sticking out of his body bag when the over enthusiastic crowd went to bury him.
I never forgot that scene. Now another madman (who resembles him) rises up with the same MADNESS affecting their minds.

Islam is a cult.

Iran is the world’s most threatening country to the world security than any other country. The theocracy must be destroyed and then there will be peace with nuclear war.
