Bibi: Iran Responsible for Over 80% of «Israel’s» Security Concerns

Local Editor

"Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that Iran is responsible for more than 80% of "Israel's" security problems, quoting one of the country's security agencies.

"We are not deterred, and are also building out strength," he said at a ceremony in the Foreign Ministry marking 25 years to the bombing of the embassy in Buenos Aires.

According to reports the alliance between Iran and Hezbollah will be foremost on Netanyahu's mind when he travels to Russia on Thursday.

The premier had made clear in recent weeks that Tel Aviv is very concerned that Iran is increasingly establishing a permanent foothold in Syria, and he will discuss this - and the close Iranian-Hezbollah alliance - when he meets in Moscow with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"We will strongly oppose arming Hezbollah with dangerous weapons," Netanyahu said. "Our red-lines are thick and clear, and we do not hesitate to act in order to preserve them."

"Iran is the greatest generator of terrorism in the world," Netanyahu said, adding there is a need to fight this terrorism which is just one of Iran's arms of aggression.

He said the other arms included its desire for nuclear arms, its development of ballistic missiles, and its sowing of instability through the Middle East.

In addition, he said, the Iranian government "continue to threaten ‘Israel' with destruction."
