Netanyahu: Iran placing missiles in Yemen to attack Israel

Prime Minister Netanyahu warns that Iran has deployed precision-guided missiles in Yemen with the purpose of attacking Israel from there.

Speaking alongside US Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin, Netanyahu says, “Iran is seeking to develop now precision-guided munitions, missiles that can hit any target in the Middle East with a circumference of five to ten meters.

“They are developing this in Iran,” he adds. “They want to place them in Iraq and in Syria, and to convert Lebanon’s arsenal of 130,000 statistical rockets to precision-guided munitions.

“They seek also to develop that, and have already begun to put that in Yemen, with the goal of reaching Israel from there too.”
