A senior political source rejects the position of former security chief Tamir Heiman, who claimed in an interview with Israel this week that "at this time, a return to the nuclear agreement is good for Israel."
According to the senior source, "Maj. Gen. Hayman was a serious and thoughtful officer, and the argument he made about the benefits of returning to the agreement is not unfounded.
According to the senior official, and contrary to Heiman's words, a nuclear agreement will not buy time for Israel.
He explained that "the immediate implication of a return to the agreement, if it happens, is the launch of Iran's economy, which is currently on the boards, and the pouring of billions into its sponsors. An agreement will not buy time for Israel and on the contrary will make it very difficult for it. "
As stated, Heiman said in an interview that "at any point in time things should be examined according to the data before us. My conclusion is that in reality there is now, an agreement is a very true thing. It will deduct and reset the amount of enriched material Iran has, roll it back, "Time, because enrichment takes a lot of time. During this time, many other things can be done: threaten, improve military capabilities, build international coalitions or create the infrastructure for another nuclear agreement, for the period after the current agreement."
Heiman emphasized that his position is now different from that of his time as head of the Armed Forces: "Between 2016 and 2021, situations arose on the ground, a new reality was created and this must be addressed.
This is what we told the Americans and the Americans told the Iranians.
It is impossible in 2021 to return to the reality of 2015 as it is. "
