Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said here on Wednesday that Israel is on the verge of collapse, the official IRNA news agency reported.
"Tel Aviv regime and its allies should know that this illegitimate regime has reached its end and even the big powers' support can not prevent its collapse", he said addressing a crowd in Zahedan, the capital city of Iran's southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchestan.
On Tuesday, Ahmadinejad said the ongoing Gaza crisis will lead to Israel's annihilation.
"Israel has committed war crimes in Gaza which will lead to definite annihilation of the regime," IRNA quoted Ahmadinejad as saying.
Ahmadinejad reiterated Tehran's political and spiritual support for the Palestinian nation.
Earlier on Sunday, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei also issued a religious decree saying that "whoever fights for Gaza today and killed is a martyr."
The Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip was under intensive Israeli air strikes for the fifth successive day on Wednesday.
Since last Saturday, massive air raids on the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip has killed 380 Palestinians and injured 1,700 others.
Israel said the offensive was aimed at halting nearly daily cross-border rocket attacks by Palestinian militants.
Hamas is strongly backed by Iran which does not recognize Israel as a state of the international community.
