(Ynet News) Maj.-Gen. (res.) Amos Yadlin - Iran is the most significant threat to Israel in the long run. The nuclear agreement is an established fact, and it is unlikely that the Trump administration will cancel it. Nonetheless, this is a problematic agreement in the long run, when the Iranians receive legitimacy for a wide, advanced nuclear program and are at point-blank range from a bomb. The Israelis and Americans should agree on the principle that a regime calling for Israel's destruction will not receive legitimacy for a wide nuclear program, as the agreement gives Iran in another decade. We must restore full intelligence coordination to uncover Iranian violations, and reach an agreement that the U.S. will give Israel all the operational abilities to act, if all other alternatives are exhausted.
