Iranian General Ebrahim Jabbari told a state-run television station that Iran must “chop off” President Donald Trump’s hand.
“Perhaps, America has joined [the war], because we were very close to annihilating Israel. It was in the closing stages,” Jabbari said, going on to declare that Iran “must not lift our foot from Netanyahu’s throat, and the throats of the Zionist criminals.”
“In addition to chopping off Trump’s hand, by means of the divine wisdom of our beloved Leader, who is more precious to us than our own lives, we must slit Netanyahu’s throat, and send him to Hell for all eternity,” he declared, as per a translation by MEMRI.
The reporter went on to claim that the “Zionist idea, in general, is a Satanic ideology that needs to depart this world.
“America’s biggest asset in the region is not its warships and bases,” Jabbari responded. “These will be annihilated in the blink of an eye. America’s main asset and main investment in its war against us is Israel itself, and we must annihilate it.”
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei recently asserted that the United States uses its influence in the Middle East to support aggression in the region. His comments were met with chants of “Death to America,” “Death to England,” and “Death to Israel” from a crowd.
Similarly, newly appointed Al-Qaeda leader, Sa’ad bin Atef al-Awlaki, called for attacks against U.S. officials.
“As a first practical and immediate measure, I call upon every Muslim in the infidel, criminal, and arrogant United States,” he said in a video distributed to supporters. “It does not matter if they are of Arab, American, or other descent—what matters is that they are Muslim, and their prophet is Mohammed.”
“There are 4.5 million Muslims in America alone. I am saying to all of them: Revenge! Revenge! Do not consult anyone about killing infidel Americans. You should have a lot of determination, and the list of your targets should be effective,” he continued.
