(Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs) U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter and Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon held a joint news conference at the Pentagon on Wednesday. Ya'alon said: "These are especially turbulent years in our region - with states collapsing and being replaced by various entities and terror organizations, many affiliated with global Jihad and the Islamic State, one fighting against the other, glorifying death and destruction and challenging the entire U.S.-led Western world. Some of these terror entities are funded, armed and trained by Iran - who, despite the nuclear agreement, continues to view America as the Great Satan, and Israel as the small Satan." "Iran makes non-stop attempts at harming Israel and its citizens by means of terror along our borders, from north to south and even across oceans. Iran also challenges U.S. interests in the Middle East both directly and by undermining pro-Western Sunni regimes."
