While referring to the comments made by the Islamic Republic officials about the annihilation of Israel, the vice president of the United States said: “Iran’s regime is after another Holocaust.”

This is the second time that Pence accuses the regime of supporting another Holocaust and Anti-Semitism.

In his speech at CPAC, Pence stressed that the United States will stand strong against Iran.

Referring to the U.S exiting JCPOA, Pence stated: “Iran used all the benefits from the nuclear deal to empower its proxies in the region and create more chaos in different parts of the world.”

Pence described Iran as a pioneer in terrorism and said: “With the leadership of President Trump, we will fight this regime’s evil influence and never allow it to gain access to nuclear weapons.”

Islamic Republic authorities have constantly talked about the annihilation of Israel since the Islamic Revolution. In recent years, their rhetoric has intensified through installing timers that count down to the destruction of Israel and missiles with “Israel will be annihilated” written on them in Hebrew.

However, the foreign minister Javad Zarif recently claimed in an interview that no Islamic Republic official has ever said Israel must be annihilated.
