Bennett: Syria is ‘Iran’s Vietnam’

Defense Minister Naftali Bennett predicts that Iran will “sink in Syria’s sands” if it continues to try to entrench itself militarily there.

“Syria is progressively becoming Iran’s Vietnam,” Bennett says during a visit to an IDF exercise in the north with IDF chief of staff Aviv Kohavi.

“We are upping the pressure,” he adds. “There is nothing for Iran on Syrian soil.”
