Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant to US Army General Mark Milley: US-Israel cooperation is needed to prevent a nuclear Iran.
A combination of wishful thinking, greed and complacency has led to the current state of affairs, but the solution does not involve military strikes.
Iran’s analysis is that Israel doesn’t have enough interceptors to deal with a long war with Iran and its proxies.
Diplomats said last week that the agency had found the traces at the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant (FFEP), where Iran is enriching uranium to up to 60% purity.
The IAEA revealed last week its inspectors had discovered that Iran enriched uranium up to 84%, close to the military-grade level of 90%.
Israeli nuclear physicist and UN inspector said it’s hard to know the truth about rogue nation’s weapon enrichment.
The IAEA leaked on Sunday that Iran had enriched uranium up to 84% – dangerously close to the 90% threshold to weaponize uranium.
Talk of a “war” was exaggerated and, insofar as anyone was concerned, Iran was already at war in half a dozen places in the Middle East via its proxy groups.
This development, emphasized by the monitors, represents the significant risk that the country's unrestrained atomic activity could bring about a global crisis.
Tzachi Hanegbi: “The world now acknowledges what we have tried to explain for so many years that Iran’s efforts are not for civilian use.”
