Energy Minister and security cabinet member Eli Cohen said Friday that while Iran attacks many countries in the region, it is afraid to attack Israel because Israel possesses offensive capabilities that it would feel strongly. 'We are prepared for any scenario,' Cohen stated.
Minister Cohen's statement reinforces Israel's message of deterrence as tensions with Iran persist. The Zioneer has previously reported on similar warnings from Cohen, including a July 21 statement that any attack would be met with greater force than before, and a July 29 statement that Israel would respond even without U.S. approval. Prime Minister Netanyahu earlier this month described the front as in a state of 'cautious fire,' warning of a forceful response to any further attack.
