According to Prime Minister Netanyahu, and we have to assume he has a little better information than we do, Iran is responsible for the Israeli embassy bombings that took place in India and Georgia today.
The bombing of an Israeli diplomat’s car in New Delhi by an attacker apparently on a motorcycle wounded four people, officials said. Israel said an attempted car bombing in Georgia was thwarted."Today we witnessed two attempts of terrorism against innocent civilians," Netanyahu told a gathering of lawmakers from his Likud Party. "Iran is behind these attacks and it is the largest terror exporter in the world," he said.
There was no claim of responsibility for the attacks. But Netanyahu also said Israel had thwarted similar attacks in recent months in Azerbaijan and Thailand.
"In all those cases, the elements behind these attacks were Iran and its protege, Hezbollah," he said, vowing to "act with a strong hand against international terror."
Both Hezbollah and Iran have deep grievances against the Jewish state.

The attacks coincide with the fourth anniversary of the assassination of Imad Mugniyah, a senior official with Hezbollah in Lebanon who is widely believed to have played a role in the 1983 bombing of the barracks in Beirut which resulted in the death of 241 U.S. Marines as well as the bombing of the Israeli Embassy in Argentina in 1992.
These attacks coincide with Iran’s increasing likelihood of entering into the fraternity of nuclear nations. We are watching the tit for tat game being played out as the nations involved are showing they have very different and competing interests. Just as Israel has allies, mainly the US, Iran has allies, too. Unfortunately, Israel lives in close proximity of the Iran funded Hamas and Hezbollah.
Iran also has allies in China and Russia. This could turn into something much bigger than most people think.
Yes it could. It has already played out that way in the UN. However, I don’t think they will be an overt military ally. I said overt.
