Israel reiterates intention to strike Iran's nuclear programme

TEL AVIV, 03 December 2021, (TON): Israeli Defence Minister Benny Gantz reiterated that a strike could be an option to bring Iran's nuclear program to a halt.

Gantz said in an interview "I do think we always have to prepare the option for the moment when we may find ourselves alone. I say again, an attack (on Iran) is an option. It doesn't have to be the first one.”

The minister said he is confident that "the US as a world leader will stand behind its promise and responsibility."

The report claimed that the Israeli government intends to purchase weaponry worth 5 billion Israeli shekels ($1.56 billion) in preparation for the possible Israeli attack on Iran.

It added that the purchase includes interceptor missiles for its Iron Dome defence system in addition to precise ammunition for the Israeli air force.
