Iranian President Hassan Rouhani lashed out at Israel in vitriolic terms on Wednesday, referring to Israel as a “festering Zionist tumor.”
Rouhani, who has been championed by Western media as a moderate reformer who could change Iran’s extremist ways, appears to be adopting a violent tone similar to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who has advocated for the complete destruction of Israel in recent days.
“Today, this festering Zionist tumor has opened once again and has turned the land of olives into destruction and blood and littered the land with the body parts of Palestinian children,” Rouhani was quoted as saying in a statement that was translated by the Brookings Institution.

Yup, pretty sure HE is a festering tumor.
Nuclear deal, hah, what nuclear deal? The only deal I see getting worked out is to give Iran enough time and room to finish what they need to destroy Israel. Might just be my sparkling pessimism but I see a Western favorable nuclear deal with Iran about as likely as Israel and "Palestine" coming to a mutually beneficial and lasting peace agreement.
