Iran newspaper: If US attacks us, White House would be destroyed in 10 minutes

The conservative, Khamenei-linked Iranian daily Kayhan published the comments in a June 17 editorial, MEMRI said Friday.

 

The Kayhan editorial said Iran was currently in a situation similar to that of the early battles of Islam, when Muhammad won the Battle of Badr and annihilated the Jews of Khaybar, MEMRI said. The newspaper called on the Iranian nation to use the month of Ramadan to redeem Islam, “which is entangled by the Jews’ deception” and by the trickery of the US – “The Great Satan” – and Britain – “the wily fox.”

 

Criticizing former president Hashemi Rafsanjani and current President Hassan Rouhani for seeking to reach a nuclear agreement with the US, the editorial said such attempts contradict the Quranic order against making pacts with the enemy.
