Israel - Nov 9

Days after the Wall Street Journal revealed that President Obama wrote a secret letter to Ayatolalh Khameini stressing the two countries’ overlapping interests, the Ayatollah called for the annihilation of the Israeli regime on twitter. He posted a table that laid out nine questions on why and how to destroy Israel and stressed that the West Bank must be armed. The State Department later condemned the “hateful remarks” against Israel made by Iran’s Supreme Leader. It remains to be seen how Iranian provocations while affect a nuclear deal with the West, especially given a more pro-Israel Republican-dominated Congress. Source: Slate
