Iran's Supreme Leader States There Will Be No Israel in 25 Years




Iran's Supreme Leader: There Will Be No Such Thing as Israel in 25 Years

By: Eliott C. McLaughlin, CNN

This article discusses the Iran Nuclear Deal and how Iran's supreme leader, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, stated in a speech this week in Tehran, that Israel will not exist in 25 years. This issue was brought up when Obama proposed the agreement that states that Iran will cut its uranium stockpiles and limit uranium enrichment in exchange for the West lifting sanctions against the Iranian Republic. Obama has faced a lot of criticism on this deal especially from Republicans who state it is too relaxed on Iran.

I chose this article because I have been following the news on the Nuclear Deal for a little while now. I am very in between when it comes to this issue because I have many family members that live in Israel and it scares me to think that Iran might abuse the deal and try to hurt my family and everyone living in Israel. Plus, most Israelis are opposed to this deal due to the fact that Israel has enemies all around them and America is considered its main ally. But yet, I also think Iran deserves the right to use nuclear technology peacefully, just like all other countries have the right to. It is really hard for me to have a clear opinion because I see how both parties view the deal.
