Florida – Nir Barkat, a senior lawmaker of the Likud opposition party, warned that if the Iran-backed Hezbollah group fires at Israel from Lebanon, Israel should respond by targeting Tehran. He said that to prevent a Third Lebanon War, Israel needs to be prepared for the first Iran War.
Nir Barkat has been a former Mayor of Jerusalem. He is a senior member of the Likud party. Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is also from Likud Party. A few days ago, while on his visit to the United States, Barkat addressed the Israeli American Council. Barkat said that Israel must adopt an aggressive stand against Iran affiliated terrorist organisations like Hezbollah based out of Lebanon, Hamas and Islamic Jihad based in the Gaza Strip. Barkat said that the terrorist organisations are a proxy of Iran which an extremist government rules with a primary objective to acquire nuclear weapons.
Nearly 250,000 missiles surround Israel. Barkat suggested that Israel should directly attack Iran in this scenario instead of retaliating against these Iran affiliated terrorist groups. This will avoid the third Lebanon war and start the first war against Iran. Barkat appealed that Israel should maintain the level of preparedness for this war.
