Israel seeks to keep Iran out of Syria, says Israeli official

An Israeli official told the Wall Street Journal that Israel's main concern amid the fast evolving situation in Syria is to prevent Iran from re-establishing its influence in the country.

“We won’t be tolerant regarding Iranian entrenchment and penetration into Syria,” the official said.

“We need to decide our strategy regarding Syria,” said the official. “It’s very complicated. We need to learn more and be really modest.”
