Former Spanish prime minister Jose Maria Aznar said Tuesday that Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told him five years ago that "setting Israel on fire" was the first order of business on the Iranian agenda. "He received me politely and at the beginning of the meeting he explained to me why Iran must declare war on Israel and the United States until they are completely destroyed."
