Netanyahu says Iran 'playing with fire' after attack on Kuwait

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday that Iran was "playing with fire" after the Islamic republic carried out an attack on Kuwait.

"Iran surely knows what the (U.S.) president has said, that if necessary, there'll be a full-scale return to military action," Netanyahu said in an interview with U.S. channel CNBC when asked if there was still a ceasefire following recent attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain.

"You know, it's the president's decision. Israel is ready and the U.S. forces are ready. I think Iran should take that into account. I think they are taking it into account but they're playing with fire, that's clear."
