A couple of years ago in a speech in Germany, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu labeled Iran the “greatest threat to the world,” as it seeks to have Islam rule the entire globe. Iran and its proxies pose an existential threat to the State of Israel. Iran has proxies operating in Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and the Palestinian Authority, who pose a grave strategic threat to the State of Israel.
