Al-Manar: "Israel Faces 'Certain Death': Iran Leader Adviser"

Notwithstanding Juan Cole's damage control following Ahmadinejad's remark about wiping Israel off the map, since the Mughniyeh assassination every day seems to bring a new phrase from the Iran Axis denoting the destruction of Israel. "Complete annihilation" is one recent example. Here's another:
The assassination of Hezbollah Military leader Imad Moghniyeh has hastened the "certain death" of Israel, the top military adviser to Iran's supreme leader said on Thursday. General Yahya Rahim Safavi said the murder of Imad Mughnieh in a Damascus car bombing last week had enraged thousands of young members of Hezbollah.

"With this anger, the certain death of the Zionist regime had been brought forward," he said, according to IRNA news agency. Safavi, who was for a decade top commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, accused Israel of carrying out the attack that killed Mughnieh but also said that "security terrorists" from the United States and "one Arab nation" had cooperated.
Which one? C'mon, you're Hezbollah--name names!
