Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Mossad Chief warns: Iran is taking over the Middle East
2017-08-14
Mossad Director Yossi Cohen briefed the cabinet Sunday, warning that the Iranian regime is expanding its control across the Middle East through proxy forces in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen.

"In places where Iran's presence is limited, Iran is working to fill the void." he said.

Cohen also said that Iran has not abandoned its aspirations to become a nuclear power, and that the nuclear agreement signed between the world powers and Iran only strengthens Iranian aggression in the region.

The Mossad head also told ministers that Iran's economy has gotten stronger ever since signing the nuclear accords in 2015, a trend that has been reinforced by recent international agreements. The agreement freed frozen Iranian funds and led to trade agreements with European countries eager to profit from the opportunity. Under Obama, the US also sent Iran hundreds of millions of dollars after Iran freed US hostages.

#7  Let's not forget the Europeans:

Not to mention 'profit' in some other ways, albeit at the expense of another country.

#2  Economic benefit from Obama's deal with run out soon and with oil at $50/barrel, Iran's economy will likely stagnate soon (if they aren't already).

Airlift me pallets of Swiss fracs and USD's in the middle of the night and my economic condition will improve as well.
