(Ha'aretz) Gili Cohen - Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz said on Wednesday that Iran could cross the nuclear threshold within a year and "there is no doubt that Iran is seeking military nuclear capability." "Israel is the only country in the world which someone is calling for its destruction and which someone is building the tools to do so. This is something that cannot be ignored." "It is correct to continue economic pressure and sanctions, from which we are starting to see signs of achievement and progress in terms of what is going on in Iran. It is correct to act and continue to disrupt processes associated with the development of the Iranian nuclear project and to work to enhance oversight over what is happening," Gantz said.
