Israel’s prime minister has said Iran is building sites in Syria and Lebanon to produce precision-guided missiles.

Benjamin Netanyahu accused Iran of turning Syria into a “base of military entrenchment as part of its declared goal to eradicate Israel”. Iran’s forces are supporting President Bashar al-Assad in Syria’s war and it backs Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement. Mr Netanyahu’s comments came as he held talks with UN Secretary General António Guterres in Jerusalem.

Mr Netanyahu gave no details about the sites Iran was allegedly building to manufacture missiles, but he warned “this is something Israel cannot accept”.
