Iran’s supreme leader swears Israel ‘won’t last long’

"Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has sworn that Israel will not “last long” in a defiant sermon in Tehran on Friday. Kasra Aarabi, the director of IRGC research at United Against Nuclear Iran, said that Khamenei’s sermon was delivered for propaganda purposes. “The ayatollah needs to show a small but radical Islamist constituency that he’s not hiding in a bunker” and “fool the outside world by making it believe he’s popular at home”, he said. “He’s lying on both accounts.” "
