Ahmadinejad: Iran Warns of US Plots to Save “Israel”

"The US seeks to save the Zionist regime with deceit. Everybody should know that the survival of the Zionist regime and its existence even in one span of the Palestinian soil is like preserving a cancerous tumor in the body of regional nations, and [is] a permanent threat against them," said President Ahmadinejad in the Iranian city of Qom on Thursday.

He added that the Iranian people and world nations are awakened and demand justice, freedom and the complete elimination of Israel, reported IRNA.

The Iranian chief executive pointed to new plots of the US against the Palestinian people and its support for Israel and said, "Nations should choose officials who explicitly express their opposition to the presence of the US and Zionists in the region."

President Ahmadinejad warned regional countries against an escalation of the situation in the region, stressing, "They should be cautious not to jump out of the frying-pan into the fire."
