Ya'alon: Israel More Worried about Iran than in the Past
(Al-Manar-Lebanon [Hizbullah]) Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon told visiting German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen on Tuesday: "Our main worry is the Iranian regime, and today we are more worried than we were in the past....We are concerned that Iran will escape the pressure, among other reasons - because they are no longer diplomatically isolated and they are beginning to enjoy relief in sanctions. The Iranians would like to preserve the ability to enrich uranium to 3.5% - which will allow them to continue to develop a military nuclear weapon." Ya'alon also noted: "Iranian missiles presently cover all of Israel and parts of Europe, and the regime in Tehran intends to develop and produce missiles that will also reach the United States."
