Following the exposure of "Israel Today": MK Avi Dichter calls for military operations against Iran following its striving to build a nuclear bomb • "Israel must not fall asleep"
MK Avi Dichter (Likud), former head of the Shin Bet and chairman of the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, calls for "initiating serious operational moves, especially in the IDF," in light of Iran's rapid rapprochement with the ability to develop a nuclear bomb. Today, "the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) also claims that Iran is systematically violating the agreement and approaching the production of a nuclear bomb.

According to Dichter, the lack of a US response to Iran's huge attack on Saudi oil facilities (even during the Trump administration) has taught Iranians not to pay a price for increasing their aggression and daring in all areas.
"The non-response marked for the Iranians the outline of progress in various areas, including the nuclear program. The bold move for them, even when US President Trump was, instilled in them the belief that in front of the Biden administration they could achieve more.
"The fact that the Americans moved to the agenda for the same attack, has expanded for Iran the scope of performance that they can operate in," Dichter says.
In his view, as a result of the US restraint, Iran has accelerated the activation of subcontractors for terrorism, the construction of the long-range missile array, and the enrichment of uranium - to a level that will allow them to significantly shorten schedules if and when they decide to advance to nuclear weapons.
"They're already doing a lot, with the knowledge of the Atomic Energy Agency, not to mention our including intelligence agencies," Dichter says.
Against the background of the American approach, Dichter warns that Israel must prepare for military action.
“In the’ 90s the U.S. fell asleep on guard and we got North Korea with significant nuclear weapons.
There Israel could have watched the tragedy from the side.
If, God forbid, the American guard takes a nap against Iran, the Israeli spectator must not fall asleep again. "
