It sent a drone into Israeli territory, violating Israel's sovereignty, threatening our security. Last week its brazenness reached new heights, literally new heights. But Iran continues to try to cross those red lines. Israel will continue to act to prevent Iran from establishing another terror base from which to threaten Israel. Israel will continue to prevent Iran from establishing a permanent military presence in Syria. I've made clear in word and deed that Israel has red lines it will enforce. For some time I've been warning about this development.
There Iran hopes to complete a contiguous empire, linking Tehran to Tartus, the Caspian to the Mediterranean. But it will not happen if Iran's aggression continues to grow, and nowhere are Iran's belligerent ambitions clearer than in Syria. In a paradoxical way, this may pave the way for a broader peace and ultimately also for a Palestinian-Israeli peace. It's brought Arabs and Israelis closer together as never before. Now, there has been one positive consequence of Iran's growing aggression in the region. Through its proxies, Shiite militias in Iraq, the Houthies in Yemen, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, Iran is devouring huge swaths of the Middle East. In fact, it’s unleashed a dangerous Iranian tiger in our region and beyond. It's not made them more moderate internally and it’s not made them more moderate externally. And the sanction relief that the deal provided has not moderated Iran. The nuclear agreement with Iran has begun the countdown to an Iranian nuclear arsenal in little more than a decade. Just as was true 80 years ago, an agreement that was seen as appeasement has only emboldened the regime and brought war closer. It's developing ballistic missiles to reach deep into Europe and to the United States as well. Iran seeks to dominate our region, the Middle East, and seeks to dominate the world through aggression and terror. Iran openly declares its intention to annihilate Israel with its six million Jews. But there are also some striking similarities. And there are obviously many other differences. Jews in Iran are not sent to the gas chambers, although religious and ethnic minorities are denied basic freedoms. Well, for one, one advocated a master race, the other advocates a master faith. There are many differences between the two. There too, noble men and women, high-minded leaders hoping to avoid war, signed an agreement that brutalizes its own people and terrorizes its neighbors. Today we gather two-and-a-half years after another agreement was signed in another city in the heart of Europe. Iran and the Assad Regime Are Drawing a Line in Syria’s Skies.Netanyahu's Drone Stunt Is a Direct Threat to Iran and Assad.Netanyahu Threatens to Act Against Iran, 'Not Just Its Proxies'.We will not forget we will not forgive we will always fight for the truth.
