Article: Israel And The Last Days
 

Iran's anti-Israel policies remain strongly in place, Hossein Sheikholeslam, the international affairs adviser to the speaker of the Iranian parliament, said on Tuesday. "Our positions against the usurper Zionist regime have not changed at all," Sheikholeslam said. "Israel should be annihilated and this is our ultimate slogan." Sheikholeslam's comments came following British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond's visit to Tehran, during which Hammond claimed that the current Iranian government, led by President Hassan Rouhani, has displayed a more nuanced approach toward Israel than previous Iranian governments.
