Iran’s hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad demanded on Tuesday that the West ends its support for Israel before it was too late, warning that otherwise it would face the wrath of nations in the Middle East. His comments were aired on state television.

“The supporters of the Zionist regime must remove this regime before it is too late”, Ahmadinejad told a crowd in the north-western Iranian city of Maragheh.

“The wrath of the nations in the region has been built up. If it reaches its limit, the storm of their wrath will not be confined to within the borders of the region and it will affect the governments that support [Israel]”, he said. READ MORE

“Today, the region’s nations are awake and the supporters of the Zionist regime can no longer wash their hands of the crimes of this regime”, he added.

Ahmadinejad caused an international furore last year when he publicly declared that the Holocaust was a “myth” and threatened that Israel must be “wiped off the map”.

Ahmadinejad has been fueling the current crisis with Israel to intimidate the leaders of the Arab nations into silence and distract the world from confronting the threat of a nuclear Iran.
