Iran Cleric Vows to ‘Raise Flag of Islam’ on White House
While members of the Iranian clergy threaten the US with war, Washington seeks a diplomatic agreement with Iran.
Ali Shirazi, an Iranian cleric and an aide to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, vowed to “raise the flag of Islam over the White House.”
He made the statement while voicing threats against Israel, saying that Iran plans to revenge the death of its soldiers and the deaths of the Hezbollah terrorists who were reportedly killed in an Israel Air force (IAF) airstrike in the Golan Heights in January. The Iranians were plotting a terror attack against Israel.
Shirazi made the remarks during a ceremony for Iranian soldiers who
died in Syria and Iraq. His comments were posted to the official Iranian
Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRCG) website and reported by the Arab
Al Arabiya news site.
Shirazi promised, “The resistance front led by Iran will retaliate from
the global arrogance of killing [Iranians] and Hezbollah men…. we will
raise the flag of Islam over the White House.”
The statement echoes another made by Islamic State (ISIS) press
officer Abu Mosa during a battle with Syrian soldiers, in which he stated:
“I say to America that the Islamic Caliphate has been established and
we will not stop. Don’t be cowards and attack us with drones. Instead
send your soldiers, the ones we humiliated in Iraq. We will humiliate
them everywhere, God willing. And we will raise the flag of Allah in
the White House.”
Mosa was reportedly killed in an airstrike only a few weeks after
his video was released.
