Everything ready for liberation of Palestine: generalJanuary 23, 2018
TEHRAN – Everything is ready for the liberation of Palestine, an Iranian general said on Monday, calling the Palestinian people to unite to defeat Israel, Mehr reported. “As the Supreme Leader has said, efforts should be made to arm the West Bank, because efforts in this regard would lead to the collapse of Israel,” said Ahmad Vahidi, president of the Supreme National Defense University of Iran. He added should the Palestinian nation be armed, they can form a liberation army and decide their own fate by their strong will.
“Mehr” is evidently a reference to Mehr News Agency (MNA). Wikipedia says “Tehran Times and the MNA are run by a single management system with MNA staff triple that of Tehran Times. MNA is one of the outlets for the Ministry of Intelligence…”
Vahidi (real name: Ahmad Shah Cheraghi), Iran’s minister of defence between 2009 and 2013, is a senior figure in Iran’s military establishment. He has been wanted by Interpol since 2007 (along with five other Iranians suspects named in this Interpol notice) for his alleged participation in the Iranian bombing of the Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on July 18, 1994, in which 85 people died, according to his Wikipedia entry. Iran denies it was involved.
