On Thursday, Israeli Intelligence Minister Eli Cohen raised the tone of the warnings issued by his country regarding the nuclear deal between Iran and world powers, which it rejects, and said that war with Tehran will inevitably follow its revival.
He reiterated Israel's position that it does not consider it restricted by diplomatic efforts in this regard, and said, "A bad agreement will push the region towards war quickly."
"Any party seeking short-term benefits must be aware of the long term .. Israel will not allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons. Iran does not have immunity anywhere, as our planes can reach any location in the Middle East and of course to Iran," he added in statements to Reuters.
Cohen said that world powers should prevent Iran from "destabilizing other countries" and financing armed groups, in addition to depriving it of means of enriching uranium and developing ballistic missiles.
