(Times of Israel) Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid was asked by Israel's Channel 12 on Friday if Israel has the ability to strike Iran's uranium enrichment facilities and weapons sites. He replied, "Israel has capabilities, some of which the world, and even some experts in the field, cannot even imagine. And Israel will protect itself against the Iranian threat. Israel will do whatever it needs to do to protect its security. And we don't need anybody's permission for that. That's been the case since the first day we established this state." Commenting on the negotiations in Vienna to revive the nuclear deal, Lapid said, "Israel is not against a good deal, it is only against the wrong deal." He added that Israel has shown information to world powers "that proves the Iranians are lying" about their nuclear activities.
