Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Iran on Monday of deploying precision-guided missiles in Yemen for use against Israel, adding that Iran is already using Iraq, Syria and Lebanon for this purpose.
Speaking at a press conference following a meeting with U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Netanyahu said Iran’s aim was to be capable of targeting not only Israel, but any location in the Mideast, according to Reuters.
“Iran wants to develop precision-guided missiles that can hit any target in Israel within five to 10 meters,” said Netanyahu, according to the report. He added that Iran’s use of “Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen as bases to attack Israel” was a “great, great danger.”
The Iran-backed Houthi militias in Yemen have on multiple occasions used missiles and drones to attack Saudi Arabia and its coalition partners.
Netanyahu also accused Iran of trying to upgrade Lebanese Shi’ite terrorist group Hezbollah’s rockets with precision-guided systems.

Iran would have preferred to add safety features to its missiles that would prevent the missiles from hitting Israel, but with Obama’s Iran deal in Limbo, the Iranian regime doesn’t have the cash to add these safety measures. Trump says he would like to negotiate a deal with Iran that, no doubt, would provide Iran with plenty of cash, but until such a deal is reached, the missiles will be lacking the necessary safety features to prevent the missiles from hitting Israel – due to a lack of cash. Let’s hope Trump can reach a deal with Iran that would refill the regimes coffer’s with sufficient cash, which would enable Iran to protect its neighbors from its dangerous weapons and thereby fulfill the regime’s dream of living in peace with its neighbors.
