At a Home Front Command exchange ceremony, the chief of staff prepared the IDF for the possibility of an attack on Iran: "History has proven many times that diplomacy can fail or succeed for only a short period of time, and then experience a violation or betrayal."
Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi said tonight (Sunday) at the Home Front Command exchange ceremony that "preparing a military option against the Iranian nuclear program is a moral obligation." This is a task that must be accelerated, especially in light of the possibility that we will be required to act against the nuclear threat, and it must be part of the intensive preparations we are advancing for the day of command."
The chief of staff added: "Blocking Iran from nuclearization through diplomacy is the preferred way, but history has proven many times that diplomacy can fail or succeed for only a short period of time, and then experience a violation or betrayal.
The IDF continues to prepare vigorously for an attack on Iran for two reasons: the first - if there is no agreement and the Iranian nuclear program continues to expand. The second - in case there is an identical or similar agreement to the previous agreement, which means a bad agreement, which creates conditions for Iran to become a nuclear state shortly after its expiration date."
