Iran is pushing Israel closer to the brink of a major war than it has been at any point since Hezbollah attacks in 2006 triggered an Israeli incursion into Lebanon, according to former CIA Director Michael Hayden.

In an exclusive Newsmax interview, the former Air Force general who also headed the NSA tells Newsmax that Iran's attempt to exploit the Syrian civil war by opening a new front against Israel in the Golan Heights has forced Israel "to face an empowered, emboldened, on-a-winning-streak Hezbollah."
