"“This is a test-fire, test-firing of rockets into a Western country,” former prime minister Netanyahu told me. “Iran is committed to the destruction of Israel. It denies the Holocaust while preparing a new Holocaust. But Iran is also committed to a demented branch of Shiism which sees an apocalyptic war of millions of casualties in which Shiism will rise and the West will go down. We may be the first target, but we’re not the last target.”

Through its proxy in Lebanon, and its proxy in Gaza, Iran “has established two beachheads,” he added.

“Let the citizens of the world beware,” Netanyahu cautioned. “What you see here is what you’ll get later.”"
