TEHRAN (FNA)- Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali
Khamenei said that the region would soon witness annihilation of the Zionist
regime, stressing that Muslim countries can make such a happening even more
imminent.

"Certainly, the regional countries will witness the annihilation of the
Zionist regime one day and its proximity in terms of time depends on the
function of the Islamic countries and Muslim nations," Ayatollah Khamenei
said in a meeting with Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz on
Wednesday.

He further stressed that Mauritanian government's severance of ties with
Israel last year served a good model for certain Arab governments.

"The Zionist regime is a big danger to the Muslim world, which hatches plots
every day to expand its infiltration and dominance in the region," Ayatollah
Khamenei warned.

He pointed to the crimes committed by the Israelis in the Palestinian
territories, specially against the people in Gaza, and said the Zionist
regime strives to continue pressures, siege and genocide in Palestine to
remove the country's Islamic identity.

"But it will surely fail to do so," the Leader added.

During the meeting, Abdel Aziz lauded the Islamic Republic of Iran's role in
the region and the world and its efforts to establish peace and tranquility.

The Mauritanian president, heading a high-ranking politico-economic
delegation, arrived in Iran on Monday for a two-day visit to confer with
Iranian officials on bilateral ties and regional and international issues.
