Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev asks Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during their meeting today in Astana if he has a message for Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, who is planning to visit the Central Asian country next week.

“Ask him why Iran continues to threaten us with annihilation,” Netanyahu replies. “Don’t you understand: we’re not a rabbit. We’re a tiger.”

Nazarbayev agrees to convey the message.
