IDF Deputy Chief of Staff Major General Amir Baram expressed concerns about Iran’s progress towards obtaining nuclear weapons, emphasizing the urgency of the situation. He warned that Iran is rapidly approaching the capability to assemble nuclear arms, posing a significant threat to global security.
Baram’s remarks align with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant’s recent plea to the U.S. to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. With reports of Iran expanding its nuclear facilities and missile programs, Israel fears that the upcoming U.S. presidential election may distract from addressing Iran’s actions.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported Iran’s significant stockpile of enriched uranium, raising concerns about the country’s nuclear ambitions. Israel believes that Iran might exploit current conflicts to advance its nuclear capabilities, necessitating immediate attention.
Iran’s pursuit of components for nuclear weapons has raised alarms among Israeli officials, who have shared their findings with allies, including the U.S. As tensions escalate, the international community must remain vigilant to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
