Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz yesterday headed to the United States for a series of meetings with United Nations officials. The talks are expected to focus on Iran’s nuclear program and the Abraham Accords.
Gantz said, “Iran has gained knowledge, infrastructure and capabilities—much of which is irreversible. This will enable Iran to further expand its nuclear program during the period of an agreement that would have fewer restrictions. Iran would be able to acquire a nuclear weapon when said agreement ended in 2031.”
As long as Iran continues its nefarious nuclear activities, Gantz made it clear that Israel will not be bound by any deal and will maintain its right to defend itself. Despite last week’s news that a nuclear deal is off the table and won’t be signed in the foreseeable future, ongoing work must be done to stop Iran from its campaign to eliminate Israel.
