Yaalon: I Prefer ’ISIS’ on Iran

Local Editor

"Israel" continues to express bitter sentiment over the Iranian diplomatic victory that secured the accord with Tehran.

In this context, the "Israeli" war minister stated that Tehran's nuclear ambitions and "terror infrastructure" are a bigger threat than "ISIS".

Speaking in Tel Aviv, War Minister Moshe Ya'alon stressed that "Iran is our main enemy," and if he were to choose between Iran and "ISIS", he would "prefer ISIS."

"[Tehran] is a rogue regime with designs on a regional hegemony. Hizbullah is Iran's proxy, with the ability to declare war. Iran currently has terror infrastructure in place in five continents: Asia, Africa, Europe and both in South and North America," Ya'alon claimed.

Yet despite a clear diplomatic victory, Ya'alon claimed on Tuesday that the nuclear agreement only "pushed back the clock from three months to one year" and that "if Iran feels economically secure, it can breakout and produce a bomb even faster."

Iran, he claimed is becoming a key player in the region as the country supports Damascus against a large insurgency. In addition, he claimed that Iran is a key source of instability in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Bahrain, and Gaza.

"We believe "ISIS" will be eventually defeated territoriality after the blows it has been suffering, and in light of the attacks on its oil reserves," Ya'alon said.
