Liberman made a point to reassure listeners that the air strike was an act of national self-defense and does not relate to the internal affairs of Syria. "We do not get involved," he said, "but we cannot accept the fact that Syria is a forward operating base for Iran.""We will do anything to stop the consolidation of Iran's presence in Syria and the transferring of weapons from Syria to Hezbollah," he said.Liberman also addressed Syria closing its airspace following the incident, reportedly due to a "military exercise." "This is not the first time... we will continue as normal," he said.
