TEHRAN, Iran - Hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Saturday that Israel was the standard bearer of Satan and the Jewish state would soon fall apart, the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported.
The agency quoted Ahmadinejad as he spoke at a religious conference and did not elaborate on what he meant by Satan. Since the 1979 Islamic revolution, however, Iran has regularly referred to the United States as "the Great Satan."
"The Zionist regime is the standard bearer of invasion, occupation and Satan," he said, predicting Israel's eventual demise. "When the philosophy behind the establishment of a regime is in question, it is not unlikely that it will find itself on a course of decline and dissolution."
Israel condemned Ahmadinejad's statements as harmful to international peace and stability.
"The Iranian president's comments are typical of his vociferous animosity towards Israel," said David Baker, an Israeli government spokesman. "He threatens not only Israel but poses a clear and present danger to the international community as well."
Ahmadinejad has made anti-Israel comments in the past. In October 2005, he caused outrage in the West when he said in a speech that Israel's "Zionist regime should be wiped off the map."
His supporters have argued that Ahmadinejad's words were mistranslated and should have been better translated as "vanish from the pages of time" — implying Israel would vanish on its own rather be destroyed.

“When the philosophy behind the establishment of a regime is in question, it is not unlikely that it will find itself on a course of decline and dissolution.”
Straight from the horse’s mouth...about Iran.
Give this guy a little more hair and a pair of drumsticks and you’ve got Ringo Starr !!!
Why every time I look at Abjiered why he look like long lost relative of Delievrance Bajo playing boy
“Because of Zionist corruption, I myself have adopted an evil habit, leading me rapidly into blindness.”
Someone needs to pull his lower lip up over his head..
Kill the Middle East.
In related news; Slovakia is the standard bearer for Miroslav Šatan.
Poor bajo playing boy having his body photoshop on crazy Iranian leader
POOR BABY
This jackoff pulls the satan card on other countries, while they hang teenage girls from construction equipment and imprision anyone who talks negatively about their government.
Real Prophets, like Abraham, father of the Jews, climb mountains to be closer to God.
They don’t crawl into caves to heed the hissings of The Serpent, unlike, oh, Mohammad.
Elaboration unnecessary.
I'm skeptical -- I suspect that number is far smaller than many in the West would like to believe.
