Israel bombs ‘notorious' prison holding Iran's political opponents
Newsweek Senior Editor-at-Large Josh Hammer has commented on Israel's bombing of a 'notorious' Iranian prison which held their political opponents. 'They're stopping short of an attempt at a full-on regime change there, but they are, in this particular case, seeming to aid and abet the jailbreak of many people who have been wrongly detained by one of the most despicable regimes on the face of the earth,' Mr Hammer told Sky News Digital Presenter Gabriella Power. 'The people, frankly, that are going to be escaping from this prison now that it has been bombed by the Israelis, the people that are escaping there are exactly the kind of people that … might be willing to ultimately put their lives on the line to try to decapitate this most evil of regimes.'
