Israeli Minister for Strategic Affairs, Moshe Yaalon says Mousavi and his wife brought a new spirit of openness to society. According to Yaalon, this will lead to a revolution in the Islamic Republic.

The ex- Chief of Staff of Israeli Army added that the new atmosphere and protest wave won't significantly affect Iranian nuclear program. "When a Military Intelligence Chief, I was saying that around 70% of Iranians are against ayatollah regime. I'm repeating it now."

Moshe Yaalon believes that the current regime will fall and recent events are a reassuring signal for the West. "This is a conflict between Jihadism and the West," MIGnews.com cited him as saying.
