"The triad of nuclear proliferation, radical Muslim terror, and rogue states, epitomized in the Iran case, can be defeated only through a paradigm shift in international relationships," Barak told Bloomberg during the interview.

He also told Bloomberg that the U.S. should rethink its plan to deploy missiles in Eastern Europe considering Moscow's opposition to such a move.
