“Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s chief of staff, Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei, said Wednesday that if Israel attacked Iran it would be destroyed within a week,” reports Ynet News. “Speaking at a political conference of ultra-conservatives in Iran’s north, Mashaei said, ‘If the Zionist regime attacks Iran, the Zionists will have no longer than a week to live.’ The semi-official Fars news agency quoted him as saying that the Islamic Republic would destroy Israel ‘in less than 10 days.'”
