Netanyahu: Iran's 'Terror Activities' Exposed to the World

Iran's "terrorist activities" have been exposed to the world, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday following a series of blasts in India and Thailand, which Israel has blamed on Tehran.

"At this time, Iran's terrorist activities have been exposed to everyone," he said, accusing the Islamic republic of "harming innocent diplomats across the world."

Israel has blamed Iran for two bombs targeting its diplomats in India and Georgia on Monday, as well as for a series of botched explosions in Thailand on Tuesday, which Thai intelligence officials said were aimed at embassy staff in Bangkok.

Thailand on Wednesday charged two Iranians over the alleged plot, but Tehran has denied all involvement.

"Iran is undermining the stability of the world," Netanyahu said in remarks made at a special parliamentary session in honor of visiting Croatian President Ivo Josipovic.

"Nations of the world must condemn these incidents and draw red lines against this Iranian aggression," he warned. "Aggression like this, if it is not stopped, will spread like a storm."

Tensions between Iran and Israel have risen sharply following three bomb incidents in world capitals in less than 24 hours.

Monday's attack in New Delhi left an Israeli woman diplomat critically injured, but a similar attack in Tbilisi was thwarted when the explosive device was discovered.

A series of blasts which ripped through the Thai capital on Tuesday only succeeded in injuring one of the would-be bombers, an Iranian national who had his legs blown off in the blast.
