The Iranian strike against Saudi Arabia's oil facilities is likely to backfire, and may even contribute to the re-election of Iran’s arch enemy in the region, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to a top expert on Iran and the Middle East.

Lisa Daftari, founder and editor-in-chief of ForeignDeskNews.com, tells Newsmax in an exclusive interview that the attack U.S. officials squarely blame on Iran was intended to embarrass Netanyahu at a critical time -- but instead will work to his advantage in Tuesday’s elections.
