Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Monday downplayed the so-called Iranian threat, encouraging a more relaxed discourse on what he didn’t perceive as an imminent danger to the Jewish State.
“Perhaps in the future the Iranian regime will become a threat, but at the moment there is no need to get too agitated,” he said at the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee. “We are acting to prevent Iran from becoming [a threat],” he continued.
