Iranian Foreign Minister Aims to Annihilate Israel

Ann Curry and Javad Zarif
Iran's Foreign Minister, Javad Zarif, was interviewed by Ann Curry of NBC News.

The full exchange between reporter Ann Curry–who deserves full marks for bringing up the issue, and refusing to let Zarif dodge the question–is posted in the transcript at NBC News’ website, though the story the network focused elsewhere.

Zarif denies that Iran wants to kill Jews–after all, he says, there are Jews in Iran–but Curry elicits an admission that Iran does want to annihilate Israel, the state of the Jewish people and the site of the world’s largest concentration of Jews.

Frankly, the fact that Iran wants to annihilate Israel should be common knowledge. However, the information hasn't seemed to have penetrated the White House.
