Iran: Our ideal is to destroy White House and obliterate Zionism, Basij commander says

“Our ideal is to destroy the White House and to obliterate Zionism,” Basij Commander IRGC Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naghdi has said.

Naqdi, stated in his speech that Khomeini (founder of the Islamic Republic) always underscored that as long as there is atheism and heresy and as long as the call of Islam has not reached the far corners of the world, there is going to be struggle and as long as there is struggle, we will be present.

He said that our ideal is not centrifuges, but the destruction of the White House and the obliteration of Zionism and stressed: “Anyone who does not believe in these ideals and has crossed them out on the pretense of intellectualism and is talking about the end of struggle should frankly say that he is not a revolutionary because we shall endeavor for these ideals until our hairs turn white and even after we handover the responsibility to the young.”

The Head of the Basij recounted the words of Khomeini who had said that our battle will bring about the conquest of Palestine and stipulated: “To this day, all of the promises of our honorable Imam have come true and we have overcome the conspiracies of the enemies and this has created a new force in the country and God willing we shall pray in Jerusalem with our Imam.”

Naqdi stated that ISIS is commanded from inside the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad and said: “The U.S. directly supports ISIS in Iraq and the U.S. airplanes leave the equipment and weapons needed by ISIS in Iraq and some of these have been taken by our side.”

Following Rouhani’s speech on Sunday among the economists of the country, the schism between the regime’s factions has flared up and Naqdi’s speech should be considered a response to Rouhani’s statements.
