This is CBS, I on the world, I'm John Bachelor. The Islamic Republic of Iran, you will all recall at the funeral in Tehran of a man named Hania, Hamas gangster.

The Ayatollah, the supreme leader, the man whose word is law in Iran pointed in the direction of Israel an issue of

threat and that threat remains unrealized however I have here Cliff May writing most recently at the

Washington Times asking the question is it done? Where is the retaliation? Was it Hezbollah's attempt to launch thousands of rockets

simultaneously against Tel Aviv and other residential areas of

Israel that was interrupted at just the last moment with the IAF was that

it, it was it the suicide bomber in Tel Aviv who blew himself up?

Is that it?

Cliff, a very good evening to you.

You've raised a mystery that needs to be solved.

First, your measure of the Ayatollah.

He is a man who issued a retaliation.

We will get you for this we will answer do I hear that correctly it was

there any mitigating instance when he issued that threat good evening to you well

he's listen the couple of things need to be put on the table.

One is the Islamic Republic of Iran is now and has long been waging a war against Israel.

There's no compromise that is acceptable.

The war has as its goal the extermination of Israel.

It is a genocidal war. Death to America means what it says. But death to

Israel is more plausible than death to America.

America can be diminished.

Tehran and its allies in Moscow and Beijing
