Israel’s military chief says ‘accelerating’ Iran strike plans

TEL AVIV, 08 September 2021, (TON): Military plans dealing with Iran’s nuclear programme have been “greatly accelerated”, Israel’s military chief warned, as questions on the ability to revive a landmark accord limiting Tehran’s weapons development continue to grow.

Preparations for possible action against Iran are being intensified, Chief of General Staff Aviv Kohavi said in an interview “a significant chunk of the boost to the defence budget, as was recently agreed, was intended for this purpose.”

Kohavi told media “it’s a very complicated job with much more intelligence, much more operational capabilities, much more armaments. We’re working on all these things.”

He also said “efforts were under way throughout the Middle East to check Iran’s allies.”
