Ayatollah Ali Khamenei may describe Israel as "satanic and
cancerous", and its regime as an "infectious tumour", but 
it is Iran and its allies that face destruction when they
march on Israel.

Tehran, Iran, Jul. 16 - Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
described Israel on Sunday as "satanic and cancerous" and praised the
Lebanese group Hezbollah for its "jihad" against the Jewish state.

"This regime is an infectious tumour for the entire Islamic world",
Khamenei said in a speech that was aired on state television.

He rejected the demand by U.S. President George W. Bush that Hezbollah
disarm, vowing, "This will never happen".

He also described the Bush administration as the "most hideous" U.S.
government in recent years.

Meanwhile, prominent Lebanese politician Walid Jumblat said on Sunday
that Lebanon had become a battleground for Tehran's war with Tel Aviv.

"The war is no longer that of Lebanon. It is an Iranian war", Jumblat
told the Arabic satellite station al-Arabiya as Israeli armed forces
continued to attack targets in southern Lebanon.
