Netanyahu Points to Iran, Hezbollah in Attacks Jul 22nd 2012, 18:10 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday repeated his assertion that Iran and its "terrorist proxy" Hezbollah are behind the recent suicide attack in Bulgaria and other similar efforts, but avoided commenting on the U.S. presidential race and Mitt Romney's upcoming visit. Netanyahu said his assertion that Hezbollah is behind the attack last week at a Bulgarian bus station that killed five Israeli tourists is based on "rock solid" intelligence and its resemblance to other, recent attempted attacks across the world, included an attempt in Cyprus. "It's the same modus operandi," he said on "Fox News Sunday." "It's them and we know it." Netanyahu also called the Iran government "the world's most dangerous regime." He is set to meet this month with Romney as part of the GOP presidential candidate's seven-day, international trip to England, Israel and Poland. The prime minister said only that he would express to Romney the same thoughts that he expressed to President Obama when he was running for the White House in 2008 -- his citizens' desire for peace and their concerns about Iran having nuclear weapons. Netanyahu said he agrees with Obama in principal about keeping Iran from having such weapons, but he declined to go further. "You're not going to draw me into your politics," he said. Officials have yet to identify the homicide bomber in Bulgaria, but Netanyahu said his country will share its information with "appropriate" and "friendly" agencies. "Just imagine what would happened if this regime got a hold of nuclear weapons," he said on CBS' "Face the Nation." He also said he thinks Syrian President Bashar Assad will soon be removed from power, but his bigger concern is what will happen to the country's stockpile of weapons in the aftermath, "when there is no control."
