Netanyahu compares Iran with IS

Iran is threatening the world in the same way as the terrorist organization Islamic State, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said during a joint press conference with his Italian counterpart, Matteo Renzi. 

"Civilization is under siege by Islamist militants, who try to conquer the world, but there is another threat from the Islamic Republic of Iran,’’ Tass cites him.

The Israeli prime minister expressed confidence once again that the nuclear program of Tehran pursues "not peaceful, but only war" targets. "Iran can pose a serious threat in the future,’’ Netanyahu said.
