Iran wants Israel to be wiped off the map. This has been their official position for at least the past 50 years, maybe longer. They were even financing Hamas and supplied Hamas with the weapons that they used during their attack last year.
From what I understand, Iran feels that Israels very existence is an abomination.
This is the reason every US president goes hard on not allowing Iran to develop nuclear weapons cause once they get them, they plan to point them right at Jerusalem.
"When Iran speaks of wiping Israel off the map, it doesn’t mean the mass slaughter of the country’s Jews but rather eliminating the Jewish state’s “imposed regime,” Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Friday.
“The disappearance of Israel does not mean the disappearance of the Jewish people, because we have nothing against [Jews],” Khamenei said, speaking alongside senior Iranian officials at the so-called 33rd International Islamic Unity Conference.
Wiping out Israel means that the Palestinian people, including Muslims, Christians and Jews, should be able to determine their fate and get rid of thugs such as [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu,” Khamenei continued, according to Iranian media."
Doesnt sound so bad,you cant always believe propaganda as people like to take things out of context. Something as simple as leaving out a comma can change everything
