You're looking for exact wording? Will threats made against Israel by all of Iran's leaders, method of destruction unspecified, suffice? Or does it have to be
nuclear annihilation to satisfy the point?
"Our battalions are named Imam Ali, Imam Hussein and Bayt al-Maqdis [Jerusalem] to clarify our final destination to the Basiji. We will not abandon our [armed] struggle until the annihilation of Israel and until we will be able to pray in al-Aqsa mosque."
Brig. Gen. Mohammad Reza Naqdi
Commander of the Basij militia
"The enemies are talking about the options [they have] on the table. They should know that the first option on our table is the annihilation of Israel."
Ayatollah Hossein Nouri Hamedani

"The Zionist regime will soon be destroyed, and this generation will be witness to its destruction."
Hojatoleslam Ali Shirazi

"If once the destruction and demise of occupying Israel was an impossible and unattainable dream, today thanks to the historic and intelligent actions of Imam Khomeini, it has become possible and is actually in the process of occurring."
Iranian Ministry of Defense statement
"The destruction of Israel is the idea of the Islamic Revolution in Iran and is one of the pillars of the Iranian Islamic regime. We cannot claim that we have no intention of going to war with Israel!"
Ahmad Alamolhoda
Member of the Assembly of Experts
The commanders of the military and the religious leaders, who are hand in hand with each other, and are the ones who govern Iran, are all calling for the destruction of Israel. If they had nukes, what do you think they would use them for?
The destruction of Israel has been official Iranian policy since the revolution. If you knew anything about Iran, you would know this. Wouldn't you?
Does this come as a surprise to anyone else? That Iran wants Israel dead and has been openly saying this for years and years now?
If Israel was as bloodthirsty as they say, wouldn't they have done something about Iran already? Why are people pretending that Israel has ever threatened the existence of Iran in anything approaching the kinds of threats that have been continuously made against Israel by Iran's ayatollahs and generals since 1979?
Israel has never given any indication they would use their nukes unless they had no other option. The message has always been that if they were forced to use them, it would mean their own destruction as well. It's hard not to get the idea that a country that trains and funds suicide attacks, and who once marched their own children through minefields to clear them in the war against Iraq, would see their own destruction as a serious drawback, if the end result was the destruction of Israel.
I am against Iran having nukes, and I support any action that denies them nuclear weapons. This isn't about Israel. Israel is just the first target. They hate America, too, remember?
