Israel can't afford to confront Iran

Deputy war minister of the Zionist regime Ephraim Sneh has said Israel's armed forces lack sufficient funds to confront Iran's threats.

"We need more funds than we receive currently to deal with the perceived threat posed by Iran," the English language daily Arab News quoted Sneh as saying on a public radio program.

He added, "If the (international economic) sanctions (against Iran) were adopted more firmly and more quickly, we may not have needed to talk about other options."

Sneh stressed that Washington was leading the policy of imposing sanctions against Iran, stressing there was no 'coordination' at an operational level between the Israeli and US militaries on Iran. Press TV
