(MEMRI) Col. (ret.) Yigal Carmon, President of the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), told Al-Jazeera on Dec. 5, 2021, that any Israeli military action against Iran would constitute self-defense, and that the West will not come to Israel's help if it is weak. Discussing Iran's intentions to build a nuclear weapon, Carmon quoted Iranian political analyst Emad Abshenas, who said that Iran has the capability of assembling a nuclear bomb within minutes or hours. He also quoted Professor Fereydoon Abbasi-Davani, the former head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, who said that Iranian nuclear chief Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, who was assassinated in 2020, had been working on manufacturing a nuclear bomb. Carmon said the only way to stop Iran from realizing its doctrine of annihilating Israel is to establish a new democratic system in Iran, and he criticized Al-Jazeera for ignoring the demonstrations currently taking place in Iran.
