Former IDF Chief of Staff Moshe Ya'alon said Tuesday Iran has declared war on the West, making a conflict with that country inevitable.

Ya'alon, a right-thinking security expert who was ejected from his position for opposing the Sharon's government's uprooting of Gaza's Jews in 2005, criticized the international community for not nipping the Iranian threat in the bud years ago.

That continuing weakness in the face of Iranian defiance was only hastening war.

However, that conflict is likely to be played out in numerous additional secondary wars before Iran itself actually comes to blow with Israel and the West, Ya'alon predicted.

He pointed to last summer's war between Israel and Lebanon's Hizb'allah - an Iranian proxy - as an example of the kind of violence that can be expected to spread throughout the region and the world as Iran gains power and advances in its quest to obtain nuclear arms.

The former IDF chief urged citizens of the West to brace themselves for a very protracted battle against these Iranian-backed and controlled forces if they are to have any hope of victory.
