Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz says that the country is prepared to attack Iran’s nuclear sites if the world does not act to stop it from developing a nuclear capability, which threatens to obliterate Israel off the face of the planet, if rhetoric from Iran’s leaders is to be taken seriously.
In spite of the Iranian leaders’ claim that their nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, evidence reveals that the Iranian regime has long sought to acquire nuclear weapons.
A recent report by the International Atomic Energy Agency pointed out that “Samples taken from two sites during inspections in the fall by the U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) contained traces of radioactive material”.
Iran also wants to leverage its nuclear accomplishments and gain additional ones, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute.
MEMRI sai Iran wants to be “recognized as a nuclear threshold state with the ability to produce a nuclear bomb within a short time, in order to move towards a nuclear balance of terror in the Middle East, to block European initiatives to include the issue of Iran’s ballistic missile development and its expansion in the region in a new agreement, and to ensure the continued existence of the Iranian regime.”
Iran resumed enriching uranium to 20 percent last week, well in excess of the threshold set out in its landmark 2015 nuclear deal with world powers and a short technical jump from the 90% level of enrichment needed to produce weapons.
