Netanyahu: Iran the ‘greatest threat’ to world peace
Times of Israel ^ | May 31, 2015, 4:41 pm | (Times of Israel Staff)

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday decried Iranian “aggression” across the Middle East, telling German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier that an emerging nuclear deal should take into account not only Tehran’s alleged nuclear ambition but also its regional aspirations.

After noting that “the greatest threat to Israel’s security, to the stability of the region and to the peace of the world” was Iran’s alleged quest for nuclear weapons, Netanyahu pointed to an Iranian “campaign of aggression across the entire Middle East, in Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, around our borders on the Golan.”

Speaking at a press conference after his meeting with Steinmeier, the prime minister added, “Today, Iran is sponsoring terrorism across the globe beyond the Middle East, in the Middle East, but also in Asia, Africa, Europe, the Americas. Iran is building a vast infrastructure of terror.”

He said Iran is “conducting an unprecedented, I would say, conventional arms build-up. It’s developing a huge arms industry, which includes drones, rockets, precision guided missiles, submarines and satellites as well.” …

How about Obama being the biggest threat to world peace?

oh come on now, I just saw the President while addressing the US Coast Guard, emphatically command that Global Warming was the Single greatest threat to World Peace. Somebody is Lying!

Just what I was going to say. Iran held a anti-ISIS contest last week which no doubt if done here, the Obama caliphate and its followers would denounce as Islamophobic or Arabphobic.

If he attacked his allies with nukes the way Iran plans to attack its enemies, then he would be.

Obama’s role as the Great Destabilizer cannot be overstated, however.

But he won a Nobel Prize!

[Last year’s laureate, former President Martti Ahtisaari of Finland, saw the award as an endorsement of Mr. Obama’s goal of achieving Middle East peace.]

Any politician who says “Global warming is the single greatest threat to world peace” should be immediately removed from office because that is proof positive they are mentally unsound and incapable of functioning on any level in public service. Seriously, to me it’s like saying “Monkeys wearing Mickey mouse hats and platform shoes are the greatest threat to world peace”.

Today Iran is the only country in the Middle East and elsewhere with boots on the ground seriously fighting ISIS--whose terrorism and murder know no borders.

Iran may very well be today what the Soviets were for Roosevelt and Churchill in WWII.

No they aren’t. I agree with Israel’s defense minister on that score.

Iran’s the only one guaranteed to start a shooting war with nukes if they get them. Red China and Russia (and their satellites) certainly are behind them in those terms, both in rank and in support. The axis of evil is very much alive.

I agree. Iran is a giant threat to Israel, but not the biggest threat to the world.

Agreed. Why isn't Israel speaking up against ISIS?

Israel always speaks up against ISIS, but puts things in context. Iran has been the number-one state sponsor of Islamic terrorism for 35 years thus far—which of course means there are other states behind them in rank. ISIS is not the entity that Obama wants to have nukes, after all.

It won’t be ISIS starting World War III; it’ll be Iran. You think that Obama wants Iran to have nukes in order to fight ISIS, really?

Welcome to the Deniers Club, Bibi.

Obama says you should be worried about thermo man-made global warming!

...Iran is just a distraction.

They’ve gone from “climate change deniers” to “climate deniers”, as if anyone is denying that the diverse lower atmosphere of the planet has climate. Further debasement of the language.

I listened to it. He does not seem to feel that ISIS is the greatest threat, and then goes on to equate the threat from Iran with the one from ISIS.

Can't agree. Maybe it's true for Israel, but not for the rest of the world.

Right you are, and I'm just sitting here wondering who that somebody could be. Decisions, decisions, I just can't make up my mind..
