Israel News Now - On Saturday, the Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei once again openly called for the destruction of Israel. The call happened just days after United States President Barack Obama reportedly sent a letter to Iran's Supreme praising America's and Iran's mutual ideas in the Middle East.

"This barbaric, wolflike & infanticidal regime of #Israel which spares no crime has no cure but to be annihilated," Khamenei wrote on his official Twitter account. "The only means to confront a barbaric regime like #Israel is arming [the Palestinians]."

However, US State Secretary John Kerry called Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday criticizing Khamenei's recent shocking and unacceptable tweets calling for Israel's elimination. According to the latest Israel news reported by Haaretz, a senior American official noted that Kerry updated the prime minster over the talks' development and the nuclear summit results.

Meanwhile, Israel's Netanyahu recorded a video message on Monday responding to Khamenei's social media posts and denounced the ongoing negotiations between Iran and six world power nations included in P5+1 namely: the US, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany. On the recent Israel news, Netanyahu said he sent letters to the foreign ministry of the six countries with the full text of Khamenei's statements claiming for the need of destroying Israel and explicitly describing on the means to do so.

"Don't rush toward a bad deal with Iran, which will allow Iran to rush toward the bomb," Netanyahu said in the video message.

The new document by the Iranian leader calling for the destruction and elimination of Israel showed that world powers must not rush into a deal on the nation's nuclear program in spite of an upcoming deadline, as based on the latest Israel news by CNN.

"There is no moderation in Iran. It is unrepentant, unreformed, it calls for Israel's eradication, it promotes international terrorism," Netanyahu said in a statement. "This terrorist regime in Iran must not be allowed to become a nuclear threshold power. And I call on the P5+1 countries -- don't rush into a deal that would let Iran rush to the bomb."   

The P5+1 nations and their approach to talk with the Ayatollahs were determined by the Obama administration. Iran has continuously poured its energies into mastering the technology for nuclear weapons. According to The Times of Israel news report, from its Supreme leader on down it makes obvious its hegemonic regional desires, its dislike for the West and its goal to bring the end of Israel.   

Based on the latest Israel news, the P5+1 negotiations aim to avoid embarrassing Iran, so they choose not to insist on IAEA inspectors gaining access to the Parchin facility where evidence of Iran's years of efforts at nuclear weaponization can be found. Therefore, Iran can openly uphold the falsehood that it does not pursue, and has not been seeking, the bomb.

On the other hand, Iran has insisted it only wants nuclear energy. And Khamenei, while calling for the elimination of Israel, said he opposes "a massacre of the Jewish people in this region." Instead, he seeks a referendum. But on Israel news, he believed that "armed resistance is the cure," calling for the West Bank to be "armed like Gaza."

Over the weekend, the social media was shocked over the Iranian leader making his call to defeat Israel on Twitter. Through the posts, Iran also insisted that it is dedicated to international relations on other issues, but Khamenei's string of tweets slammed Israel.

In the past, Khamenei and other Iranian leaders have spoken similarly of Israel, but the new document with specific details was an alarming news to Israel.

"[The] proper way of eliminating Israel is for all the original people of Palestine including Muslims, Christians and Jews wherever they are, whether inside Palestine, in refugee camps in other countries or just anywhere else, take part in a public and organized referendum," Khamenei said in the document. "[The] Jewish immigrants who have been persuaded into emigration to Palestine do not have the right to take part."

Meanwhile, Obama's recent letter to Khamenei about cooperating in the fight against ISIS have raised questions over whether the US president's perspective on Iran is softening.

The latest Israel news said the Obama administration would like to have perceived as a new generosity of spirit emanating a yearning to overcome past hostilities, to build new bridges and to play fair. But Obama's desire to heal relations with America's enemies in this fierce part of the world is regarded as a weakness by the sources of the brutality.

The news about the tensions on the deadline for the current round of nuclear negotiations between Iran and the P5+1 has been widely reported. And with Iran's threat of destroying Israel, the US-led international community willfully closes its eyes and ears to the dangers it will bring to global security.
