It has been reported that Prime Minister Netanyahu has made the decision to advance right away to prepare for Israel to strike.
Netanyahu had addressed the Hartog National Security Conference in Tel Aviv; this was following an international atomic monitoring group's announcement saying Iran has enriched its nuclear capacity to 84 percent. This is the highest level we have seen in Iran to date; this number is just short of the purity level that is needed to produce a nuclear bomb.
Prime Minister Netanyahu said at the conference, "The only thing that has credibly stopped rogue nations from developing nuclear weapons is a credible military threat or a credible military action. You can couple that with crippling economic sanctions, but that's not a sufficient condition. A necessary condition, and an often sufficient condition, is credible military action."
Other people at the conference was Former U.S. Secretary of
State Mike Pompoe, and the former U.S. Ambassador to Israel, David Friedman.
Israel's channel 12 said that regarding the private Iran discussions, Prime Minister Netanyahu met with the Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, Israeli Defense Force Chief of Staff Herzl Halevi, and the heads of Mossad, the National Security Council and other IDF military leaders.
Israel has released the material of the discussions to the U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and French President Emmanuel Macron. Coverage from the media of the deep political battle over judicial reform in Israel has been overshadowing the Iran discussions.
Israel has recently told the leaders of the terror group Hezbollah, Iran's proxy group in Lebanon, that they would be making a very big mistake if they were thinking the political protests that has been happening inside Israel would affect the nation's military deterrence.
At the security conference, Prime Minister Netanyahu has repeatedly warned the world about the Iranian regime for the past 20 years. He said, "I can tell you that I will do everything in my power to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. That is not merely an Israeli interest; it's an American interest; it's in the interest of the entire world."
