Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Iran occupies a place liberated by the terrorist group "Islamic State".

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Jerusalem categorically objected to the constant military presence in Syria of Iran and its satellites, primarily the Lebanese terrorist organization Hezbollah. He promised to take all necessary measures to ensure the security of Israel, including, to prevent the Iranian presence on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights.

Earlier on August 13, Mossad chief Josef Cohen said that Iranian expansion is currently taking place in the Middle East. Iran extends and strengthens its influence in Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Lebanon. The intelligence chief also noted that Tehran has not abandoned its desire to bring the nuclear program to the level at which it will only be necessary to issue an appropriate order for the creation of nuclear weapons.

The leader of Hezbollah, Hasan Nasrallah, said yesterday that the terrorists are aimed at the nuclear reactor in Dimona and the Haifa tank with ammonia.

It should be noted that the US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger recently issued a warning on the same topic. He wrote an article in which he noted that the creation of an extremist Shiite empire on the site of IGIL carries a huge threat to the peace and stability of the entire region.

Before that, Israel had repeatedly called for not allowing an Iranian military presence in Syria, but Russia and the United States did not support this demand.
