I find it unreal how people are shrugging this off.
PEOPLE, THE PRESIDENT OF IRAN IS CALLING FOR THE COMPLETE DESTRUCTION OF ANOTHER COUNTRY IN PUBLIC!!!!
How you all can dismiss this is beyond me. Frankly, what if the US were to say "we should wipe Iran off the face of the planet"?
Would that be OK?

North Korea is much the same, except worse.
They've had nukes for a while now, and despite the endless stream of threats and posturing, haven't done diddly squat.

Whatever.
I still say Iran should go for the jugular. Besides, if it wasn't for us, Israel wouldn't be squat. Imagine if we never woulda gave them billions of dollars in aid, the Muslim countries would have destroyed that place long ago.
So, I say Iran should turn Israel into glass. And, so what if I say that? People love it when you say turn Iraq to glass, so what's the difference?

Well, I wouldn't say America never played a significant role in Israel's defense...I can remember sitting on a transport aircraft at McCord AFB, along with our section's 155 towed howitzer, a 5-ton prime mover and a bunch of ammo, while Nixon convinced the Russians not to intervene in, and the Israeli's not to carry out, the destruction of a couple of Egyptian armies in the (Bitter Lakes region? not sure...).
And while it has been seen that Israel can take care of itself, I sure wouldn't say that its always been easy
Ballsy folks, I'll admit, willing to shoot up the Liberty...

Just spotted an irregularity in the media's reporting of this situation.
How is it that the BBC runs an article asserting that Iran's president has defended his widely criticised call for Israel to be "wiped off the map," and yet, CNN runs an article asserting Iran moves to ease reaction to anti-Israel remarks?!
Apparently CNN caught wind of their error
