Pompeo: Iran fooling no one, we're denying regime
resources to threaten America
Secretary of
State Mike Pompeo says Iran is still up to
their 'unsavory acts' and it's President Trump's mission to deny them a nuclear weapon
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused Iranian Foreign Minister Javid Zarif of
"echoing Hitler's call for genocide" in a Friday morning tweet
regarding an Iranian push for what organizers call a
"final solution" referendum aimed at creating an official Palestinian state.
That terminology was used by the Nazis during the
Holocaust.
"Incredible
that @JZarif and Iran’s Supreme Leader are echoing
Hitler’s call for genocide," Pompeo wrote. "This depravity should dispel any
notion the regime belongs in the community of nations. We stand with Germany
and Israel against this oldest
& most vile form of hatred, and say #NeverAgain."
Pompeo's post came on Quds Day, a holiday
held in Iran toward the end of the month of Ramadan meant to
express support for Palestinians and opposition to Israel's existence. Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei went on a Quds Day Twitter rant earlier Friday
morning, comparing Israel to a "cancerous
tumor" and the coronavirus.

IRAN'S SUPREME LEADER CALLS
FOR ISRAEL'S DESTRUCTION
IN TWITTER SCREED ON ANTI-ISRAEL HOLIDAY
The
tweet from Zarif that Pompeo was referring to
in his post included a veiled reference to Nazi Germany's genocide against the
Jewish people.
"Disgusting that those whose
civilization found a 'Final Solution' in gas chambers attack those who
seek a real solution at the ballot box, through a REFERENDUM," Zarif said. "Why are US and
West so afraid of democracy? Palestinians should not have to pay for your crimes, or for your guilt."
This tweet was
posted above a promotional image for the proposed referendum, which said:
"The final solution: Resistance until
referendum"
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
also responded earlier this week to the "final solution" language Iran has used in its push for a ballot referendum for a Palestinian state.
Benjamin Netanyahu
איומיו של ח'אמנאי לממש את "הפתרון הסופי" כנגד ישראל מזכירים את תכנית "הפתרון הסופי" הנאצית להשמדת העם היהודי.
עליו לדעת שכל משטר שמאיים על ישראל בהשמדה ימצא עצמו בסכנה דומה.

SCATHING INDICTMENT OF IRAN'S HUMAN
RIGHTS VIOLATIONS
"Khamenei's threats to
realize the 'final solution' against Israel are
reminiscent of the Nazi 'final solution' plan for the destruction of the
Jewish people," Netanyahu said in a tweet, which was translated from
Hebrew. "He must know that any regime that threatens Israel with extermination will find itself in similar danger."
The U.S. earlier
this week imposed sanctions on a handful of Iranian people and
entities, aiming to "pressure ... Iran to treat its own
people with dignity and respect."
"In addition to human rights abuses inside its own borders, Iran has a long track record of
assassinations and terrorism in other countries," Pompeo said
in a statement on the sanctions.

He
continued: "In an effort to hide evidence of the regime’s abuses against
its own people, Iran imposed a near-total shutdown of access
to the global Internet last November, placing nearly all of its 80 million
people in digital darkness for a week while security forces killed as many as
1,500 people and arbitrarily detained thousands more. The Iranian regime has long restricted access to the Internet while
censoring and inhibiting rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly
– two universal human rights."
