Yaalon: Our main worry is Iran

Israeli Minister of Military Affairs Moshe Ya'alon has admitted that the Islamic Republic is not diplomatically isolated, adding that this represents a concern to Israel.

“Our main worry is the Iranian regime, and today we are more worried than we were in the past,” Ya'alon said in a Tuesday meeting with visiting German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen.

He said that Iran has “an opportunity to develop and improve the economy” as it was no more outcast diplomatically.

On Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu repeated allegations about Iran’s nuclear energy program, saying Tehran's nuclear activities pose the biggest threat to global security.

The Islamic Republic has always rejected the allegations that its nuclear activities are geared toward non-civilian purposes.
