Iran Presence in Iraq Threatens Israel, Israeli Security Officials Say
(Ha'aretz) Yaniv Kubovich - Iran began bolstering its presence in Iraq after Israel stepped up attacks on Iranian targets in Syria. Israeli defense officials say Iran has shifted the bulk of its deployment of missile systems outside the country to Iraq. According to Israeli intelligence, Iran is currently providing Iraqi militias with missiles that have ranges of 200 to 700 km. and are capable of hitting anywhere in Israel. These missiles are more accurate than the ones in Hizbullah's arsenal.
