Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad launched another tirade against Israel Wednesday, this time calling the Jewish state "a dirty microbe" and a "savage animal." His remarks came one day after Israel complained to the United Nations over comments made by an Iranian Revolutionary Guards leader, who called Israel a "cancerous" that he said will be destroyed by Hizbullah.
"World powers have created a black and dirty microbe named the Zionist regime and have unleashed it like a savage animal on the nations of the region," Ahmadinejad said in a rally broadcast on Iranian state television.
