Ahmadinejad predicts Israel\’s collapse, warns West over support | Earth Times News.

Tehran – Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Friday predicted the collapse of Israel and warned the West over its continued support of the Jewish state.

“Its final collapse is imminent and regional nations will eventually eradicate this regime,” Ahmadinejad said.

“Those countries still backing this criminal regime should stop their support or otherwise face trial as war criminals,” the president added in a speech at a ceremony marking the 21st anniversary of the death of Grand Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, founder of the Islamic republic.

While referring to this week’s deadly raid by Israeli commandos on an aid flotilla bound for the blockaded Gaza Strip, Ahmadinejad said the attack “was out of both weakness and madness.”

The raid met with international condemnation.

He further warned US President Barack Obama, saying his support for Israel could be the main reason for the end of his presidency.

A protest against the Israeli raid was planned for after the anniversary ceremony, state television reported.

Smaller protests were held in front of the UN office and British embassy in Tehran, during which demonstrators demanded an end to international silence to what the protestors called Israeli crimes.

Iran does not acknowledge the sovereignty of Israel and considers the Jewish state the root of all problems in the Middle East.
