Israel has many enemies and it needs to defend itself, Dan Meridor, deputy prime minister of Israel, told RT. He believes the Iran-Syria-Hezbollah axis is now broken and Tehran will be compelled to give up its nuclear ambitions without a war.

­The Israeli politician explained why Iran should not possess nuclear weapons, whereas Israel, though never confirming it, has a moral right to possess nukes.

Dan Meridor emphasized his commitment to defeating Iran without military means, but stressed that serious undercover actions are being carried out against the Iranian nuclear capabilities.
