(X) Uriel Schachter - Former Head of the Mossad Intelligence Directorate, Zohar Palti, said in a recent interview: Iran still does not have nuclear weapons, which means someone is doing something right. What the Israeli Air Force and CENTCOM accomplished during the Iranian attack in April was incredible. When the U.S. understood that an Iranian attack was imminent, the Americans called all the Middle East leaders and told them, "Friends, listen - starting in two hours, there will be no civilian flights in the entire Middle East." Then, no "good guys" were in the air, only "bad guys." This made it much easier to identify targets. The double-edged sword of the Iranians' use of their Ground to Ground Missiles (GGM) is that they "forced us" to attack in Iran. Now, this psychological barrier no longer exists. We have already done it twice. We don't know if the Americans will commit to this, but even on a bad day, the Americans know how to dismantle the Iranian nuclear threat in eight hours. The Americans have capabilities that no other power in the world possesses in this regard. They just need to make the right decision. In the early 2000s, what we call the "axis of evil" began to form. But there is no longer such an axis. Assad has fallen, Hizbullah is not in the same state as last year, and Iran has wasted many of its GGMs. And it lost some important defense systems lately. Iran spent tens of billions of dollars over 40 years to build up Hizbullah as a force that essentially disappeared within six weeks.
