President Isaac Herzog says that Iran will be a “main issue on the agenda” of new US President Donald Trump, who was sworn into office yesterday.
“Iran will be a main issue on his agenda in the very near future, and it will have to be deliberated,” Herzog says at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in conversation with journalist Fareed Zakaria.
“Iran cannot have nuclear capabilities, and has to stop with its proxies and axis of evil,” says the president. The regime in Tehran is “working day and day out even now… rushing toward the bomb, and of course planning all the time terror attacks the world over and in our region.”
