Tehran, Iran, Jul. 17 Irans hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Sunday that Israel should exchange key Hezbollah leaders it has in custody for its army personnel taken hostage by the Lebanese militia fiercely loyal to Tehran.
This occupying regime (Israel) came into existence in the heart of the Islamic world and the Middle East 60 to 70 years ago with plots and ruses and has no duty other than terror, crimes, aggression, violence, and creating tension. Its mission is to sow discord among countries in the region, Ahmadinejad said.
He accused the United States of lying that it sought a two state solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict.
He urged the West to remove the Jewish state from the region. For certain, you cannot withstand the power of the nations of the region, he said.
If you do not contain this criminal regime and end your support for it and give a positive response to the people of the region you will face a dire fate, he said.
His comments were reported by the state-run news agency ISNA.
