Israel Takes Iranian Threat Seriously
(Maariv-Jerusalem Post) Tal Lev Ram - Israel is following the developments in the nuclear field in Iran very closely. If there are visible things happening that Iran declares, there is a likelihood that there is progress and steps being taken by Iran in secret channels as well. This obligates the IDF to develop the military capability to harm Iran's nuclear program if such a need arises. The level of preparedness and possible plans for a military option for action against Iran is again on the table. However, this is a future scenario. The Iranians are still very far from obtaining military nuclear capabilities and so, too, Israeli military action against Iranian nuclear facilities is still distant. At the same time, Israel takes seriously the possibility that Iran may attempt to attack Israeli targets, and therefore, at this stage, this subject stands at the head of all assessments of the security situation in Israel.
