Basij Brigadier General Mohammad-Reza NaghdiFollowing Iranian scientist Dariush Rezaiinejad‘s assassination, Pajamas Media’s Reza Kahlili is reporting that Basij Brigadier General Mohammad-Reza Naghdi wants Israel destroyed. According to Kahlili, Naghdi has claimed that protecting Iran’s security is dependent upon wiping the “Zionist region” “off the map.” In response to Rezaiinejad’s death, Naghdi allegedly said:
“The main plot for this criminal act was conceived by the American government, and since it is scared of the reaction by the Muslim world due to the uprisings in the region, it had the Zionist regime commit the heinous act…we have no option but to have the Zionist regime wiped off the map.”
Naghdi was born in Iraq and he was a member of the Iranian Quds Force before being appointed to his leadership post in Basij back in 2009. The Basij is a volunteer military body that is generally comprised of young Iranians who receive official benefits for enlisting.

House Speaker John Boehner, center, joined by other GOP leaders, discusses the debt ceiling July 25 on Capitol Hill.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid warned Tuesday that Republicans’ deficit-reduction bill is “dead on arrival” in his chamber, as the Obama administration issued a formal veto threat and pushed lawmakers to reach a “compromise.”
White House officials appeared to hold back earlier Tuesday when asked whether President Obama would veto the GOP bill, which could be voted on in the House as early as Wednesday.
But the administration issued what’s known as a “statement of administration policy” Tuesday afternoon saying the president’s advisers “would recommend that he veto this bill” should it clear Congress.
