Earlier today, Iran's President Ahmadinejad delivered a speech to foreign dignitaries in Teheran, marking the 18th anniversary of the death of the Ayatollah Khomeini, in which he said that the countdown to Israel's destruction has begun, and that Israel will cease to exist in the "near future:"
Iranian officials have expressed bewilderment over the uproar caused by [Ahmadinejad's] comments [about Israel], saying he was merely restating one of Khomeini's central beliefs that the Jewish state was doomed to destruction.
No doubt experts at the State Department are poring over Ahmadinejad's latest pronouncements, in an effort to discern what he was really trying to say.
