(Ynet News) Jonathan Weber - Strategic Affairs Minister Moshe Ya'alon told the Herzliya Conference on Wednesday that "Iran can still be stopped." "The Iranian regime has many weaknesses. It can certainly be made clear to them that foregoing the idea of entering the brink is the best course of action for them, since adhering (to their nuclear program) will endanger their basic interest of remaining in power." "It is important to continue clarifying to the extremist regime in Iran that all options remain on the table and that ignoring the demands of the international community will likely end in bitter tears for Iran." "It is not beyond reason that the changes in Turkey's policies towards Iran are related to a sense that Iran is about to become a country on the brink of nuclear weapons. Under these conditions, it is even more difficult to assume that Syria will abandon its ties with Iran to advance the peace process with Israel," Ya'alon noted.
