Netanyahu Warns Iran: We’re a Tiger, Not a Rabbit
Local Editor
"Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used a visit to Kazakhstan Wednesday to send a warning to his enemy Iran: Don't underestimate us, we are tigers, not rabbits.
During a meeting Wednesday morning in Astana with Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev, the host asked Netanyahu whether he could deliver a message to Iran's president, Hassan Rouhani, who is set to visit the Central Asian country next week.
Netanyahu replied yes, according to a senior official with knowledge of the details of the discussions. "Ask him why Iran continues to threaten us with annihilation. Don't you understand: we're not a rabbit. We're a tiger," the prime minister told Nazarbayev.
Netanyahu also told Nazarbayev that "if Iran attacks "Israel" it will put itself at risk," the official said, speaking on conditioning of anonymity.
Kazakhstan, a country with a Sunni Muslim majority, has friendly ties with both the Zionist entity and Iran.
Last year, Nazarbayev congratulated Tehran on the nuclear pact it struck with six world powers, a deal the "Israeli" apartheid regime criticized as a historic mistake.
In April, Nazarbayev visited Iran for the fifth time since he became president, calling the Iran and Kazakhstan "brotherly nations."
Nazarbayev asked Netanyahu whether he really believes that Tehran intends to wipe "Israel" off the map. Netanyahu replied that he does indeed think so, adding that he takes Iranian Supreme Leader Imam Khamenei's constant threats literally.
