Israel Intel Chief warns Iran may strike Israel from Iraq

Maj. Gen. Tamir Hayman, Director of Military Intelligence (AMAN), warned on Monday that Iran has amassed enough influence in Iraq to  be able to attack Israel from that country too. He reckoned that the danger Tehran could pose to Israel from Iraq was no less potent than it is from Syria or Lebanon. DEBKAfile adds: Iran has began arming its Iraqi Shiite proxy militias with light assault aircraft, attack helicopters and medium-range surface missiles.
