Iran: Installing NATO radar system in Turkey won't solve Israel's problems

Iranian Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi said that installing a NATO anti-ballistic missile system in Turkey is not the answer to Israel's problems, the FARS News Agency reported. Turkey's Foreign Ministry said earlier this month that talks with NATO over the radar system were reaching their final stages.

"The United States is possibly seeking to limit Iran or Russia's power or defend the Zionist regime but these actions cannot solve any of the Zionist regime's problems," Vahidi told reporters. He reiterated that the main source of "Zionist regime's problems" is the Arab Spring that is shaking up the region. (Dudi Cohen)
