CNN: Iranian president inflames tensions with Israel

The Washington Post via AP: Iran Leader: Israel Will Be Annihilated

Whoops, no, they’ve changed it to: Iran President Again Lashes Out at Israel

The New York Times (via AP): Iran’s Leader Says Israel Will Be Annihilated

Reuters: Iran president: “Zionist regime” a threat

Al Jazeera: Iran leaders criticise US and Israel

AFP: Iran’s leaders launch vitriolic assault on Israel, US
