I take a peek every few days at the Tehran Times, Iran's official English language mouthpiece.
In their style book, Israelis are generally referred as "the Zionists." Years ago, the United States was, of course, the Great Satan, but at least in the Tehran Times, that epithet hasn't been used lately.
Until yesterday, in an article about the swearing in of Mahmud Ahmadinejad, Iran's new president.
From the Tehran Times:
On Iran’s foreign policy, the Supreme Leader said that the Islamic Republic always follows a pacifist approach.
Iran does not seek strife with any country or nation, but world powers, especially the Great Satan (the United States) should realize that the Iranians will continue to vigorously defend their rights and will never give in to bullying powers, he added.
Thanks for the parentheses to clarify things.
