Former Head of Israel's National Security Council: Iran Hoping to Destroy Israel in the Coming Years
(Jewish News-UK) Jotam Confino - "The Iranian conclusion is that maybe the time has come to destroy Israel in the next few years," Maj.-Gen. (ret.) Giora Eiland, former head of Israel's National Security Council and head of the IDF Strategic Planning Branch, told Jewish News in an interview on Monday. Recent developments that have accelerated Iran's ultimate goal include its restored ties with Saudi Arabia and greater cooperation with Russia. In addition, Eiland said, Iran has more "precise weaponry" at its disposal: "Today, Iran has accurate cruise missiles, suicide drones, and ballistic missiles with GPS censors that are much more accurate." "They believe that if they mange to arrange a simultaneous attack against Israel by Iran, Hizbullah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, Shia militias in Syria, Iraq, and Yemen, and an uprising of Palestinians in the West Bank, this will be something that Israel won't survive."
