Israeli National Security Chief: New Iranian Nuclear Facility Not Immune from Attack
(Times of Israel) Lazar Berman - Israeli National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi discussed reports on a new underground Iranian nuclear facility that is likely impervious to U.S. bunker-buster bombs. He told the 2023 Herzliya Conference that "of course, it limits the ability to attack," but "there is no place that can't be reached." If we reach the conclusion "that there is no avoiding military action against the nuclear facilities in Iran, I think that any Israeli leader will have full backing from Israel's society and the state to do what Menachem Begin did in 1981, what Olmert did in 2007 - to act when all the other options aren't effective anymore." "We are sending the message, so is the U.S., that if you cross the red line, the price you will pay as a regime and as a country is one you wouldn't want to pay, so be careful." The "red line" is when Israel determines that Iran is "coming close to the moment of no return."
