Col Zehavi further comments on Iran's nuclear capabilities; the likelihood of another country using a nuclear weapon agains the Iranian regime; the attacks by Iran on other countries in the Middle East; America's likely staying power in this war; the barrage of attacks on Tel Aviv, the renewed war with Hezbollah - as well as South Africa's support for Iran.
