Former defense secretary predicts Iran will strike at Israel
Fox News
Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper predicted that Iran will launch a retaliatory strike at Israel after a missile hit Tehran's consulate in Damascus, Syria.
In an interview on CNN, Esper predicted Iran will take action against Israel, but on a limited scale to avoid wide-scale war in the Middle East. Chris Pandolfo is a writer for Fox News Digital. Send tips to chris.pandolfo@fox.com and follow him on Twitter @ChrisCPandolfo.
"They are going to act," Esper said Friday. "They're going to feel the need, to uphold their dignity, to maintain credibility with their proxies, throughout the region, and to really meet the demands of hardliners, within the theocracy that wants to see something done."
