Israeli Ambassador to the United States Yechiel Leiter warned that if Iran retains ballistic missiles, it will use them against its neighbors, as reported by the '301 — The Arab World' the source. The remarks come amid ongoing debate over US policy toward Iran's missile program.
Israeli Ambassador to the United States Yechiel Leiter stated on Thursday that Iran would use ballistic missiles against its neighbors if it retains them. The remarks, published by the '301 — The Arab World' the source, come amid a broader debate over US policy toward Iran's missile arsenal. Leiter's warning echoes earlier statements by Israeli officials rejecting the notion that Iran's missile program is comparable to those of other regional states. As The Zioneer reported earlier Thursday, Leiter previously pushed back against President Trump's remarks suggesting that Iran should keep ballistic missiles because other countries in the region have them. The ambassador's latest comment reaffirms Israel's stance that Tehran's weapons pose a unique threat to regional stability. No further details or official confirmation from the embassy were immediately available.
