Local Editor

"Israeli" war Minister Moshe Yaalon said Tuesday that "The world must lead the battle against Iran, but "Israel" must take into account the possibility that it may be forced to defend itself, by itself."

Speaking on the Zionist entity's Day of occupying Palestine, Yaalon said that Iran's nuclear power posed "The most significant threat - not only to "Israel", but also to the Middle East and developed countries. Tehran has been developing for the past few years a military nuclear program the repercussions of which might be tragic."

"A nuclear Iran could launch an arms race in the Middle East and spread nuclear weapons among terror groups. This could be the western world's nightmare," the "Israeli" minister claimed.

Earlier Tuesday, "Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the Iranian nuclear issue, saying that "Iran must be stopped from achieving nuclear ability. Over the recent weeks we have witnessed the results of a tyrannical regime in the possession of nuclear weapon. We've seen how sanctions and verbal threats don't always help."

"If Iran gets nuclear weapon, it will change the world. We can't let that happen. We must stop it for the sake of humanity and we're running out of time."
Meanwhile, "Israeli" war minister also addressed the so-called regional threats, saying that "Hizbullah and Hamas are armed with tens of thousands of various rockets and missiles, which they will launch at our cities and citizens when ordered to do so."

"Even now, and despite the achievements of the Pillar of Clouds, southern towns endure rocket hits. We will not tolerate such incidents and will retaliate," Yaalon warned.

"Though Hizbullah is busy fighting for the regime in Syria," he claimed, Yaalon noted : "It is ready to confront "Israel", and will be backed by Iran and Syria."
However, he threatened "the Lebanese citizens and leaders must realize that Lebanon will be considered responsible for every Hizbullah attack on "Israel" and will pay the price."
