‘Gloves are off’: Israel is ‘coming after’ Iran

Former US defence secretary William Cohen says the “gloves are off” and Israel is “coming after” Iran. The Middle East is on the brink of an all-out war after Iran’s missile attack on Israel. Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to retaliate, saying Tehran will pay. “They are at a point now where their ‘bluff’ has been called in the sense that they have hit Israel in a way that Israel is saying gloves are off, we’re coming after you,” Mr Cohen told Sky News Australia. “We don’t know exactly how powerful Iran is … but I think that the Israelis are going to level a very destructive blow.”
