Netanyahu, Lieberman Escalate Tone against Iran’s Presence in Syria

Local Editor

‘Israel' will stop at nothing to contain Iran, even if it has to act alone, Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed.

He further alleged that Tehran is plotting to destroy ‘Israel' from Syria, where it has been helping fight terrorists at the government's invitation.

"Iran is scheming to entrench itself militarily in Syria," Netanyahu claimed as he addressed the Jewish Federation of North America's General Assembly in Los Angeles via a video conference on Tuesday.

He further alleged that Iran, which serves as one of the guarantors of a ceasefire deal in Syria, wants to station its troops on the Syrian territory on a permanent basis "with the declared intent of using Syria as a base from which to destroy ‘Israel'."

Netanyahu, who once branded the milestone nuclear deal between Iran and six world powers a "historic mistake" and a threat to ‘Israeli' survival, again lashed out at the universally hailed document, arguing that it will allow Iran to "produce hundreds of nuclear weapons" after "about a decade."

He urged a joint effort of the international community to curb Iran, noting that if allies do not support the ‘Israeli' lead, it will not hesitate to act on its own.

"If we have to - we'll stand alone. Iran will not get nuclear weapons. It will not turn Syria into a military base against ‘Israel'," Netanyahu warned.

Relatively, Zionist War Minister Avigdor Lieberman stated that the ‘Israeli' Occupation Forces [IOF] is ready and well prepared for any scenario, "we maintain complete freedom of operations."

His remarks came after two-day tour of northern border, examining forces' preparedness: "We will not allow Syria to become a frontline against [...] ‘Israel'."

Lieberman sent a message to Russia on Wednesday that ‘Israel' will not allow ‘Iranian and Shiite entrenchment' in Syria after Moscow's foreign minister said Tehran's presence in the war-torn country was legitimate.

"The [IOF] is ready and well prepared for any scenario, we maintain complete freedom of operations," Lieberman said at the end of a two-day tour of "Israel's" northern border.
