Senior Iranian cleric Seyyed Ahmad Khatami on Friday considered Israel's threats outdated and ineffective, while warning Tel Aviv if they would "stupidly make slightest mistake, Iran's response would drive them crazy."
According to IRNA, Tehran's interim Friday preacher, addressing thousands of Tehrani worshipers at central campus of Tehran University referred to the anniversary of Lebanese Hizbullah's victory in its 33-Day War on Israel, adding, "That war proved that the enemies of nations live at glass palaces that are instantly breakable when faced with might of nations and their resistance."
He reiterated, "The enemies cannot resist in confrontation with a nation whose weapons are "Allaho -Akbar" (God is the Greatest), "Ashoura" (the day when the third Imam of Shiites Imam Hossein (AS) attained martyrdom), and `Heyhat Menazzellah' (Imam Hossein's (AS) saying on the day of his martyrdom: Alas! We would never yield to living wretched lives)."
He noted, "They must have taken lessons from that event, if they are wise enough to do so."
Khatami said, "The wretched and mean Israeli figures had better realize that constant and everyday threatening of Iran would lead them nowhere, since such threats are both outdated and ineffective." Addressing the Israeli officials, he added that nations have got used to such threats.
The senior cleric said the 33-Day War totally annulled the regional equations and made the United States and its oppressor rulers forget `the Greater Middle East' phrase for good. "That victory was the victory of faith and strong belief, and the victory of blood over sword..."
