More Alarming News From Iran

WASHINGTON – According to news reports, Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, said that “God willing” in 25 years Israel will cease to exist while also telling Iranians not to forget that the United States is the “Great Satan.” Maine’s Second Congressional District, Bruce Poliquin, released the following statement:

“The latest news on Iran supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, hoping Israel – one of our strongest allies in the Middle East – will cease to exist in 25 years is deeply concerning and alarming.

“This is just another example that clearly shows Iran’s interests are not compatible with the United States. When a nation like Iran, the leading state sponsor of terrorism, refers to our Country as the “Great Satan,” it should be clear that we should not enter an agreement with them.

“Having listened to an overwhelming sentiment of Mainers in the 2nd District and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to Congress, I will continue to stand with my fellow Mainers and Israel, our ally, and vote against any deal that leads Iran to the likelihood of nuclear weapons –ever.”
