Former Israeli Navy Commander: Our Interests Are to Hit Iran's Missiles
(Jerusalem Post) 104.5FM - Former Israeli Navy chief V.-Adm. (res.) Eliezer Marom said Wednesday: "We need to understand that our interests [in Iran] are to hit the ballistic missiles, which are a strategic threat to us. We saw what they are capable of doing during the 12 days of war in June, so we developed a security policy that says we cannot allow those who threaten to destroy Israel to surprise us. We will not allow monsters threatening us to grow." "Even if they [the U.S.] decide not to attack, it is likely that there will be no choice, and Israel will have to attack. I believe that Netanyahu received U.S. approval in meetings with Trump" for such a scenario. "We are approaching the time when Israel will not be able to wait and will have to attack, because every day that passes, the Iranians are producing more missiles and launchers. We will have to act. Israel's decision point is approaching, and the scenario that could unfold is that Israel will attack [Iran's] missiles when it becomes clear that these [nuclear talks] have no continuation."
