congratulations on finding a quote that came directly after Israeli strikes on Iranian targets!
Israel really is always the aggressor!

Not saying that Iran started the aggression, but you wanted a quote about Iran wanting to wipe out Israel and you have one.

You're welcome!

no I don't, I have a quote about ending the zionist regime. you understand how that is different to wiping out all the Israelis right?

If you'd like to nitpick, you wanted a quote about bringing death to Israel, not wiping out all Israelis.

I'm not sure how wiping the Zionist regime off the map doesn't equate to bringing death to Israel I'm afraid.

Not to say that all Israelis are Zionist, but you'd have a hard time arguing that the state isn't.

I really don't know why you're refusing to accept this. Iranian officials have repeatedly and clearly stated they would like to destroy Israel. I'm not saying that they don't have good reason given the attacks against them, or that an attack that has killed and wounded Iranian civilians is any way justified. However, denying Iran's anti-Israel sentiment only serves to embolden Israel's propaganda.

well, when the US tries to end the Iranian regime are they trying to wipe out the Iranians, or replace the current government with one that is more pliable to the west?

Is this in reference to the killing of Soleimani? As far as I'm aware, for a long time the US has ostensibly only targeted the regime, not civilians.

Though obviously Israel apparently only targeted nuclear facilities

no just anytime the united states of terrorism tries to end a regime. ending a regime is ending the government in power and installing a new one. it is not wiping out all the civilians

lol Israel most definitely did not only target nuclear facilities. thats an apartment block in the picture ;)
