Israel: Deal Boosts Iran Terror Threat
(Times of Israel) Rebecca Shimoni Stoil and Raphael Ahren - Israel anticipates a "major escalation" of Iranian-backed terror attacks on its borders as a direct result of the nuclear agreement, Foreign Ministry Director-General Dore Gold said Wednesday during a conference call hosted by the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. "The moment that the funds become available from frozen accounts...that's when the Middle East goes south and things become extremely dangerous in the region." With the release of $150 billion of frozen funds, Iranian troops and their proxies "will have an ability to be everywhere simultaneously." Gold added that "it is very uncomfortable for us to have to be in this kind of a struggle with the United States....We will get through this as allies. But we have to tell you the truth about how dangerous this agreement is."
