Israeli minister sees possible attack on Iran "in 2-3 years"

[Mirzali Khan]

JERUSALEM, Dec 28 (Reuters) - Israel could attack Iranian nuclear sites in two or three years, its defence minister said on Wednesday, in unusually explicit comments about a possible timeline.

With international efforts to renew a 2015 nuclear deal having stalled, the Iranians have ramped up uranium enrichment, a process with civilian uses that can also eventually yield fuel for nuclear bombs - though they deny having any such design.

Experts say Iran could potentially raise the fissile purity of its uranium to weapons-grade in short order. But building a deliverable warhead would take it years, they say - an estimate echoed by an Israeli military intelligence general this month.

In two or three years, you may be traversing the skies eastward and taking part in an attack on nuclear sites in Iran," Defence Minister Benny Gantz told graduating air force cadets in a speech.

For more than a decade, Israel has issued veiled threats to attack its arch-enemy's nuclear facilities if it deems world powers' diplomacy with Tehran a dead end. However, some experts doubt Israel has the military clout to deliver lasting damage to Iranian targets that are distant, dispersed and well-defended.

The Israeli military intelligence forecast for 2023 is that Iran "will continue on its current path of slow progress" in the nuclear realm, according to Israel Hayom newspaper on Sunday.

Iran will only change its policies if extreme sanctions are imposed on it; then it could decide to accelerate enrichment to military grade," said the report, which a military spokesperson confirmed as citing genuine intelligence assessments.

Under an ambiguity policy designed to deter surrounding foes while avoiding provocations that can spur arms races, Israel neither confirms nor denies having nuclear weaponry. Scholars believe it does, having acquired the first bomb in late 1966.

Unlike Iran, Israel is not a signatory to the voluntary Non-Proliferation Treaty of 1970, which offers access to civilian nuclear technologies in exchange for the forswearing of nuclear weaponry.

I highly doubt it. There's no real indication of this happening, as Iran would 100% retaliate, and it won't be pretty.

This is about as realistic as Indian high command constantly saying that they're readying to go to war with Pakistannand China, but are only waiting for the go ahead....meaning they're basically bluffing.

Iran will never get attacked. Middle East is controlled through Iran. Iran is the reason why arabs buy millions and millions dollars weapon systems from West.
Will Iran be attacked?

rubbish
Imagine that there is no country called Iran. After that, countries like Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and UAE said we will no longer bend to US and we will not give it any base, if it does not accept, we will fight with US! Imagine the Qataris!
Or the government of Pakistan said "Iran does not exist", so we will not be corrupted anymore!

They don't attack because they know and hear from their American friends that Iran will respond. And it hurts...

 

[BHAN85]

I think corrupt Israeli ruling elite wants to attack since 12 years ago, they take a jet and will be in USA, problem solved for those cowards.

But you can't order easily to a whole state to suicide themselves.

The key is unmount every American house of lies in every attempt of attack to Iran.

Last was 2017 summer, you remember, 2017 June: Tehran terrrorists attacks, 2017 July: First American aircraft carrier visits Israel (Haifa port) in more than one decade.

American lies are really tiring, they keep trying to fool everybody.

Perhaps Iran may attack Israel next year, very possible indeed.

 

[IceCold]

Iran Is not Syria, the response will be brutal that might actually lead to a nuclear weapon use by Israel. Like father like son, the yanks used it against a non nuclear Japan and the Israelites might use it against a non nuclear Iran.
I hope Iran does develop couple of nuclear warheads to retaliate just in case.

Iran enables few things, and only for those things Iran is important. Although apparently Iran is sanctioned, but Iran also somehow getting all the technologies.
Irana existence ensures Israels existence. How can Israel attack Iran?

Yes,this of course makes perfect total fvcking sense [if you`re a zionist].
Lets wait and attack iran when they are even stronger in terms of both defensive and offensive capabilities,oh and also when yet even more of their fast growing nuclear infrastructure has been put well beyond our reach.

This is a beautiful illustration of the "logic" or rather complete total lack thereof that is inherent to both zionists and indeed the utterly odious ideology of zionism as a whole.


I`ve no doubt that the lunatic fringe of zionists,the ones currently running israel,still engage in that comforting old military masturbatory fantasy that somehow,somewhere,someway when they really desperately need it the most,that those perennially "useful idiots",the americans,can be conned in to doing the job for them.[personally I have my doubts]

I think that at this point probably one of the few things that the zionists,the arabs and the west can all agree on is that none of them want to get into a shooting war with the iranians.

Summing this entire article up in two sentences " Israel will be READY to attack Iran's nuke sites at a short notice within ONE year". 2-3 years are too many and it's just being published to make others feel "Israel won't be ready for a while". 2-3 attack would be useless!

Israel is going to use nuclear earth penetrators if it will act alone, mark my words.

Iran will never reach the point it has nukes.

Iran isn't growing stronger, it's growing weaker, its economy is failing, half of its citizens are already potential Mossad cooperators that want the Iranian government toppled.

Israel can shut down Iran electronically.

Mindless Iranian shills think they have Israel surrounded when in fact they are surrounded and infiltrated from within.

Nonsense lol. Israel is already ready, we had many years to be ready. Israel will attack Iran whenever Iran will cross a deadline in the progress of the development of a nuclear bomb.

If you are a dog owner you know that:

"The smaller they are the louder they bark!!."

Who's the dog, Iran that barks about destroying Israel while the IRGC gets raped in Syria and Iraq, and their top, most secured leaders are getting killed by AI controlled weapon stations, and their engineers and scientists get killed all over the Middle East and do nothing in response, and had a bunch of its nuclear sites blow up and suffer the most complex cyber attacks in history

Or is it Israel that is responsible for all of these assassinations and bombings? Israel already destroyed 2 nuclear sites and has no problem expanding their record, I don't think you get who's the dog.
