Aug. 21 (Bloomberg) -- It has been a tumultuous couple of
weeks in the Iran-Israel War, and it hasn’t even started yet.
Over the past few days, Iranian leaders have promised
Israel’s coming destruction about half a dozen times, and have
gotten so overheated they’ve begun to mix metaphors: There has
been much talk about wiping the cancerous tumor of Zionism from
the map, and so on. The Iranians’ language has become
sufficiently genocidal that even the secretary general of the
United Nations, not generally known as a hotbed of Zionist
feeling, said he was “dismayed by the remarks threatening
Israel’s existence.”
