Iran always couches its determination to destroy Israel in Islamic terms, based on the Qur’anic exhortation to “drive them out from where they drove you out” (2:191). Yet the Islamic motivation for the destruction of Israel is routinely discounted by Western analysts.
“Unveiling clock showing 8,411 days left for Israel, Iranians rage against Jewish state,” Times of Israel, June 23, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
TEHRAN — Iran held major anti-Israel rallies across the country Friday, with protesters chanting “Death to Israel” and declaring that destroying the Jewish state is “the Muslim world’s top priority.”
Iranians participating in Quds Day rallies also called for unity among pro-Palestinian groups against the “child-murdering” Israeli government, according to Iran’s Tasnim News Agency.
Marchers in Tehran headed from various points of the city to the Friday prayer ceremony at Tehran University. Similar demonstrations were held in other cities and towns in Iran.
Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guard used the demonstration in the capital’s Valiasr Square to showcase three surface-to-surface ballistic missiles, including the Zolfaghar — the type that Iran used this week to target the Islamic State group in Syria. The Guard said it fired six such missiles on Sunday at IS targets in the city of Deir el-Zour, more than 600 kilometers (370 miles) away. The Guard said the airstrike was in retaliation for an IS attack earlier in June on Iran’s parliament and a shrine in Tehran that killed 18 people and wounded more than 50.
Another missile on display at the Tehran rally was the Ghadr, with a range of 2,000 kilometers (1,250 miles) that can reach both Israel and US bases in the region.
Iran’s ballistic missile program has been the subject of persistent concern in Washington and the target of repeated US sanctions.
Iran claimed its missile strike on Sunday killed 360 Islamic State fighters. Israeli sources, by contrast, said the strike was a “flop,” that most of the six or seven missiles missed their targets, and that three of them fell to earth in Iraq and didn’t even reach Syria.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, in remarks carried by the official IRNA news agency, said Israel supports “terrorists in the region.”
Parliament speaker Ali Larijani, in a speech to Tehran demonstrators, called Israel the “mother of terrorism” and said that in the “20th century, there was no event more ominous than establishing the Zionist regime.”
The rally also inaugurated a huge digital countdown display at Tehran Palestine Square, showing that Israel will allegedly cease to exist in 8,411 days.
In 2015, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei predicted that after 25 years — by 2040 — there will no longer be a State of Israel.
“Death to the House of Saud and Daesh,” demonstrators chanted, using another name for the Islamic State. “Death to America”, “Death to Israel”, “Death to the UK.”…
Frederick Middleton says
I very much doubt if their own regime can last that long.
Keys says
I, too, hope this Iranian regime does not last 8,411 days.
This annihilation of Israel clock is another lie; like many others from those in control in Iran.
The current leaders will make a move to destroy Israel long before their clock turns to zero, so it is meaningless except as a ruse and jihad terror device.
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
Where does this figure of 8,411 days come from? Somebody please cite the relevant hadith. 8,411 days / 365.25 days/year = 23 years, which will be up in 2017+32 = 2049.
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
Correction: 2017+23 = 2040.
Keys says
Mark –
It comes from Khameni’s prediction from 2 years ago in 2015, but who knows how he came up with 25 years in 2015. So your question remains.
from article: “In 2015, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei predicted that after 25 years — by 2040 — there will no longer be a State of Israel.
rabrooks says
Actually it doesn’t matter. The problem is, just as with NK, they can run nuclear blackmail.
“Do what we want or we’ll toast XXXXXXX.” They won’t directly attack US., but or ‘allies’ are prime targets. It’s really time to finish this now because it will just keep getting more expensive. It’s an eventuality.
ibrahim itace muhammed says
keys,Jews are well conscious that prophecy in the hadith will come true,whether Iran fixed date for it or not,unlike bogus prophecy in your mithraistv bible in mathew that this world would end 2000 ago,which never happened.
Sabri S. says
The entire middle east specifically, and world at large
will know no peace, as long as the synagogue of Satan state
of Israel exists. They can’t even have a normal apartheid state
with their own black and Arab Jewish “citizens” – the true Jews
In the world…death and resistance to Zionists…they must be
destroyed!

How that Sunni bombing in Iran at there grand Pobas Grave site working out for you last week?
Juhani says
I bet you too have enjoyed of blessings coming from Israel. Among those are the great Intel i series processors, which are designed there.
Martyman39 says
In case you didn’t know it, Israel has a highly sophisticated missile defense system and the capability of wiping Iran off the map in 5 minutes.
shosh7154 says
G-d of Israel is the first Zionist and He is a Jew::
Isaiah 14:32 What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it.
Yeshua the L-rd, the King of Israel is a Zionist:
Psalms 2:6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. Psalms 69:35 For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
Marty says
The iranian sociopaths obviously hate nearly everyone. And most of the iranian people hate them. Time for regime change.
Westman says
Considering that both Iran’s and North Korea’s leadership are belligerent enemies to world interests one might ponder which country would be first to experience, “regime change”, and if it will be at the hands of outside or domestic forces.
In either case, not much time is left before the costs of leaving these belligerent children in the sandbox outweighs the costs of removing them. If Iran were, say Baha’i instead of Shia, North Korea’s fat boy 3 would be the most likely recipient of God-status-reduction action. In reading, many years ago, of Gen MacArthur’s intent to use nuclear bombs in the Korean conflict, I was appalled at the notion, but now I see it had more wisdom through eliminating future leadership worship.
To dethrone the Iranian clerics would require a devastation so great that the Iranian citizens would have no doubt that Allah is a fake or an overthrow by patience-exhausted citizens, themselves. Let’s hope the citizens realize the cost will be much lower if they de-throne the clerics and that any attack on Israel will bring the higher devastation.
RonaldB says
We used to have a nice Muslima posting here a few years ago, ranting on about how superior the Shi’a were to the Sunni, but always getting back to the ultimate triumph of Islam and how happy we would be. She claimed that the Shi’a were much more moderate. I guess the Shi’a are moderate when you deal with Saudi Arabia and the Sunni are moderate when you deal with Iran. They both tell us how horrible the other sect is, and they’re both 100% correct.
Westman says
True, and the Baha’i Muslims can tell the world, firshand, of the “moderation” experienced in Iran.
John A. Marre says
Do you think Obama gave 1.7 billion dollars in cash to Iran so they could use it to wipe out Israel? Both Iran and Obama hate Israel, and the Jews.
WPM says
Obama hates America even more a true traitor ,he hate Israel because its the only country in the middle east that has American values. Israel is America,s only friend in that crazy angry sandbox Shi”a, Sunni they all hate America, the West , and Israel more then they hate each other.

Walter Sieruk says
This Islamic regine of Iran what has the unfitting word “Republic” in its title does strongly and firmly desire destruction of Israel of the Jewish State of Israel. . One of the reasons why they have in hostile mindset towards Israel is because the mullahs and ayatollahs and other Muslims in power in this rouge regime view the nation of Israel not as a genuine country but as a “Zionist cancer ” in the Middle East. Threfore the ayatollahs and mullahs along with the otner Muslims in control of Iran look forward to the dectruction of Israel with a passion.
Thngs get stranger still , because they have a belief that the total and complete annihilation of this “Zionist cancer” [the Jewish state of Israel] will occur when their Islamic Messiah called the Mahdi accomplish will and elminate Israel once and fro all.
This is explaimed ,to a degree, in this following essay.
To give some Bible based information with authorized Islamic literature also taken into account and yet not to go into detail and that state that this is a theory of Bible prophecy and not a complete prophecy fact. This is what might happen. This awful and terrible conflict in the twenty -first century is part of the war between the Judo- Christian West and the Islamic East. The Mahdi will arise in the Middle East he will appear a wonderful man to many people, in reality he will be wicked man and will be so very deceitful and lying to he will seem, very much, like a good righteous and rightly guided man who will make a short and false “peace” in the Middle East. The Mahdi with have a partner who will be the false “jesus” of Islam. This Islamic ”jesus” will give Christian’s a choice , which is convert to Islam or die by beheading, this is the Koranic way to killing non-Muslims, as in 47:4. Those vicious murders of Christians in the future are predicted in the Bible. As seen in Revelation 20:4. Furthermore in Israel the Mahdi “shall divide the land” Daniel 11:39. [K.J.V.] between the Jews and Muslims and the Mahdi will also by many deceiving lying signs and wonders, will unify Shi ‘ite and Sunni Islam together common goal destroying the State of Israel ,once and for all. The Mahdi will then take the all the military force of Islam with Satanic intention of totally destroying the Jewish State, one and for all. The when the Second Coming of real Jesus will occur .This is at the Battle of Armageddon where the final and complete defeat of the Mahdi, along with false ”jesus,” and his Islamic military forces. After the great Victory there will be then the total destruction of Islam. As found in the Bible in, for example, Ezekiel chapter 37 and 38. Zechariah Chapter 12 and then 14:9-21 well as in Revelation 19:11-21.
There is an Christian Arab pastor ,Michael Youssef who had written two well researched and informative books about the Islamic messiah called the Mahdi the are END TIMES AND THE SECRET OF THE MAHDI also the book entitled JESUS , JIHAD AND PEACE Furthermore, another Christian author on the topic of the Mahdi and prophecy is other than pastor Youssef is Joel Richardson who wrote THE ISLAMIC ANTICHRIST :THE SHOCKING TRUTH ABOUT THE NATURE OF THE BEAST and the other book entitled THE MIDEAST BEAST : THE SCRIPTURAL CASE FOR THE ISLAMIC ANTICHRIST.
commonsense says
I believe you have confused the Madhi with the Dajjal (the Muslim antichrist).
Walter Sieruk says
To commonsense. I know and understand difference between the Mahdi who is the Islamic messiah but is reality he is “the man of sin” the Bible’s anti-Christ and Islam’s version of” the anti-Christ,” the Dajjal I’m sorry that my keyboarding wasn’t clear enough for you.
Walter Sieruk says
Of the different reasons that the mullahs and ayatollahs as well as the other Muslims who have such mighty power in the Islamic “Republic” of Iran hate Israel with an intense hate of strong malice is because the Quran contains many negative about the Jewish people. The reason that the Quran reads as it does have much to do with the history of the founder and prophet of Islam, who is Muhammad. This is for a specific time period of his life Muhammad lived among many Jewish people and he liked them at first. Later then they would not accept his claim of being of prophet, Muhammad then took is dislike to them that then turned into bitterness and even hate for them. So in the hate and bitterness he spoke many derogatory things about the as even referring to them as “apes and swine.” Such word of bitterness and hate, along with other thing he said, where written down on things and then later after his death those words were together together and then eventually, in time went in the composition of the Quran . Therefore, that why the Koran reads and in does about the Jewish people, as in calling them descendants of “apes and swine.” As seen in the Koran in 2:65; 7:166.; 5:60. Furthermore, as a Christian I can keyboard that there is a chance the Muhammad actually might had been a prophet but the important thing to understand is that Muhammad was NOT a prophet send by God. Instead, Muhammad was a deceptive, lying false prophet send by Satan to lead many people astray and even and straight into hell. Jesus, in fact, had predicted and warned of the coming of such men as Muhammad. For Jesus taught “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” Matthew 7:15. In addition, the Bible further warns that “many false prophets are gone out into the world.” First John 4:1. [K.J.V.]
PRCS says
Not being a Christian, my personal take:
If he actually existed, THAT Muhammad was an opportunist who–along with his pals–concocted another in the litany of mankind’s brutally oppressive theocracies; the Aztecs as but one example.
PRCS says
“Israel’s destruction, “Muslim world’s top priority””
Well now, are Dearborn’s Muslims a part of that world?
Paul N Silas says
I’ll bet on the IDF. It takes nothing but gas to run Iran’s mouth, but a whole other matter to make it happen.
It will be 8,000 days before Iran gets nuked, their tanks burned, their planes blown from the sky, and their women weeping for their lost men.
“Never again”, my Jewish Brother in arms
Keys says
Don’t believe or rely on the fake clock, Paul.
If Israel waits 8,000 days to nuke Iran, they, Israel, will have been well nuked first; and they do not have the deep survival bunkers and land mass that Iran has.
Keys says
Israel knows.
Therefore, the ordinary people of Iran ned to get rid of the current Ayatollah-ic regime for their own survival.
Daniel Triplett says
It’s already way beyond the point in time Netanyahu himself predicted Iran would possess nuclear warheads. Many intel analysts believe Iran already has at least one warhead, and now they’re just amassing dozens of them and perfecting their ICBM technology before igniting the Apocalypse.
N Korea may have sold/loaned/given Iran a warhead as well.
Israel need wait no longer to nuke Iran. Iran is pointing a loaded gun at them; they don’t even need to bolt it atop a missile–all they must do is give the device to their Hezbollah goon squad to smuggle into downtown Tel Aviv.
Why wait? It’s time.
davej says
Demonstrating again that no Muslim’s word can be trusted, no amount of appeasement or “tribute” will be effective and that their greedy and insolent demands will only increase with time.
That and their complete obsession with death and destruction amounts to a mental illness.
PRCS says
Re: Islam,
I do trust Anjem Choudary’s word.
DRHazard says
All of this just because some Jews 1400 years ago saw through Muhammad’s B.S. and wouldn’t go along with his prophet of God con job.

James says
I think the reason the “Islamic motivation…is routinely discounted” is probably quite simple: perhaps the discounters simply cannot believe that people would act like that for a religious reason. Religion – of certain kinds at least – is something which such people simply cannot understand.
I think we have here a failure of will, but one that caused by a failure of imagination.
PRCS says
Don’t overlook those good folks of other faiths who simply cannot believe Qur’an and Sunna say what they say.
Numerous Christian and Jewish folks–whom Islam teaches hatred of–as prominent examples.
jewdog says
Well, now you know what Clock Boy’s been up to since his case was dismissed.
Maybe the Iranian Death Clock will become all the rage on Amazon. Like a cuckoo, a little Mullah emerges from a door every hour to pronounce a different death fatwa: One o’clock, bong, Death to America, Two o’clock, bong, Death to Daesh, Three o’clock, bong, Death to the Saudis, Four o’clock, bong, Death to Israel, Five o’clock, bong, Death to All Infidels.
And you know, in Islamic time, it’s always five o’clock somewhere.

mach37 says
Rhetorical question: Why the Iranian/Muslim obsession with ridding the world of Israel, and Jews? The nation is probably the 3rd smallest country in the world, seems to have no plans to expand beyond Israel’s current border, and not a big population. The Koran gets a lot of its inspiration from the Torah – so I’m told (I haven’t looked for evidence). If the Jews did not exist, who would Islam persecute next, with as much vigor?

I address your question in my own comment, which appears within this thread. Please look for it – thanks.

Isaiah 49:26 And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.
mach37 says
This portion of Isaiah is the nation of Israel questioning, with the Lord’s replies. In context, this should start with Isaiah 49:24 [NIV]:
24. Can plunder be taken from warriors, or captives be rescued from the fierce?
25. But this is what the Lord says: “Yes, captives will be taken from warriors, and plunder retrieved from the fierce; I will contend with those who contend with you, and your children I will save.
26. I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh; they will be drunk on their own blood, as with wine. Then all mankind will know that I, the Lord, am your Savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
shosh7154 says
Top line and bottom line and all lines in between: Do not touch Israel because the word Israel was created by G-d Himself and appears in G-d’s name 453 times in the Bible.
Jack Holan says
UN, EU countdown clock untill the destruction of fellow UN Member State by Iran; the Silence is Deafaning as PM Netanyahu. If this had been Israel making such Statements against Iran The Security Council would condemn it, The EU would call on Israel to to settle the Israel/Palestine Conflict on Palestinian terms. The SILENCE IS A GO SIGN FOR THE AYATOLLAHS.
HOW DO YOU THINK ISRAEL SHOULD REACT WHEN THE CLOCK REACHES ZERO. Maybe Israel wiki again decide to live and launch another 6-Day style War. Maybe the World has forgotten how just before the 6-Dad war when Nasser told UThant to get his Personnel out they could run as fast. The same will happen if Iran demand it
commonsense says
I believe the chief reason for the Iranian obsession to destroy Israel derives from the Mullahs’ apocalyptic belief in the need to bring the Hidden Imam out of occultation so that Judgment Day may finally come. But there is another sine qua non for this to occur: the need for Muslims to fight and kill the Jews, in accordance with the important hadith found in the collections of both Muslim and al-Bukhari: :Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard Muhammed say that Judgment Day will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews, who will hide behind rocks and trees, and the rocks and trees will cry out: ‘O Muslim! O slave of Allah! There is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him!’ All but the gharqad tree (will cry out thusly), for it is the tree of the Jews. (Muslim, Bk. 41, #6985) This hadith is also incorporated into the HAMAS charter. Implementation of Islamic practices and precepts are foremost to the government of Iran, and this hadith, which is well-known and canonical to Muslims, explains and justifies Iran’s especial hatred of Israel. The importance of this hadith cannot be discounted or ignored.
