And there you have it:

"The Iranian nation is standing for its cause and that is the full annihilation of Israel,” Maj. Gen. Hassan Firouzabadi said in a speech to a defense gathering Sunday in Tehran.

But wait! He doesn't speak for the Iranian regime! He's just a... high-ranking military general talking to a bunch of other high-ranking generals who are nodding their heads in enthusiastic agreement.

In case the daily chants of "Death to Israel" emanating from Iran's leaders and standing-room-only street rallies didn't tip you off before, perhaps this latest clear threat will nudge you in the right direction.
