If only you knew the first thing about Iran. It's sad how people who lack the ability to see past partisan politics actually lack the ability to see truth even when it's stated to them repeatedly.
Ouch, eh?
Here is the actual farsi text from his speech:

How's your farsi, doctor? Here's a clue. See rezhim-e? Does that remind you of anything? Like 'regime'? Well what do you know, we're learning farsi! Hmmm...so let's put that in. "I want the Israeli regime wiped off the map". Still kinda harsh, mostly because of the word 'map'. Of course if you were to ask someone who speaks farsi if they have a phrase "wipe off the map" they'd laugh and say of course not. Actually, the word for map "nagsheh", isn't even in there! Hmmm....
Here is the actual english translation:

The Imam said this regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time.

Wow. So you're totally wrong. I'll be waiting for your retraction.

And Israel has nukes capable of hitting Iran. You don't think having defenses is prudent? Oh, right, you want the Iranians to be wiped off the map. Or was that a mistranslation?

So we're going to ignore the conclusive report by the NIE? Which source more credible than the NIE are you getting your information from? Fox News, perhaps?
Enjoy those blinders, doctor.
