Israel yet again hammers the stance on Iran, suggesting that Tehran will have a legion of supporters should the world fail to take action.

Iran is a threat to moderate Arab nations which are likely to interpret the hesitation of the international community as a form of weakness, said Israel's foreign minister in a meeting with her German counterpart Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

Tzipi Livni then suggested that this weakness would cause dramatic changes in the region, encouraging Arab states to form closer ties with Tehran.

The Zionist regime considers Iran a threat to its existence and has long accused the Islamic Republic of running a clandestine nuclear program. Tehran, however, refuses such claims and asserts that its nuclear activities are peaceful.

This is while it is widely believed that Israel itself has an arsenal of over 200 nuclear warheads but has not allowed the UN nuclear watchdog to inspect its facilities.
