Israel Fought Iran on Behalf of America in 2011
(MEMRI) Col. (ret.) Yigal Carmon - The degree to which Israel's fight is on behalf of America is demonstrated by the case of the leader of Iran's ballistic missile program, Hassan Tehrani Moghaddam, who was working on an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) program when he was killed in 2011 in an explosion attributed to Israel. Iranian development of an ICBM poses no additional threat to Israel that Iran's existing ballistic missile arsenal does not already pose - the death of Moghaddam increased America's security, not Israel's. The writer, former counter-terrorism advisor to two Israeli prime ministers, is founder and president of the Middle East Media Research Institute.
