[Global Times Special Correspondent in Egypt Huang Peizhao] According to the “Times of Israel” report on the 5th, Iranian President Leahy was formally sworn in on the same day. On the same day, Israeli Defense Minister Gantz stated that Israel was ready to launch an attack on Iran.
Gantz was interviewed by the Israeli news website "Ynet" on the 5th. When asked if Israel is ready to attack Iran if necessary, Gantz replied: "Yes." Gantz said that the Israeli army is also ready to respond. Multi-line conflicts that may include Iran.
He added that Israel is still focused on mobilizing the international community to put pressure on Tehran, "We cannot treat Iran as an Israeli problem and exempt the rest of the world from responsibilities."
In addition, according to Israel’s "Jerusalem Post" on the 4th, Gantz said at a briefing for the ambassadors of the UN Security Council member states that since Iran has completely violated all the norms and guidelines of the Iran nuclear agreement, it will be at the earliest. Weapon-grade nuclear materials were produced within a week.
According to the report, this is the first time Gantz has spoken publicly about what Israel thinks it will take Iran to manufacture nuclear weapons.
Gantz called on the UN Security Council to impose economic sanctions on Iran.
At the same meeting that day, Israeli Foreign Minister Rapide mentioned two recent attacks on oil tankers in the area and blamed them on Iran, calling the attacks an "international crime."
Lapid threatened that if the international community did not respond to such incidents, Israel might handle the matter on its own.
According to a report by the Iranian Mehr News Agency on the 4th, Iran is also using actions to make a strong response to Israel.
The commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard of Iran, Hussein Salami, inspected the military units deployed in the Strait of Hormuz and the state of readiness for military bases along the southern coast of Iran.
Salami confirmed that Iran’s missile systems, drones, navy and land forces are “ready” and can take action at any time to strike any targets aimed at Iran’s security.
Some Middle Eastern media worry that Israel’s increased threat to Iran will indicate that it will use force against Iran when the time is right? In this regard, Jordan’s “Morning Daily” stated that Israel is worried about Leahy’s New Deal, and Gantz and other officials have raised their tunes and have the intention of calling Iran to warn; at the same time, Israel is also expanding its international diplomatic efforts to win more countries. The support made people realize the importance and urgency of the Iranian nuclear issue. On the other hand, if the Israeli intelligence agency confirms that Iran can produce weapons-grade nuclear materials in only 10 weeks, it will not wait to die, but will preemptively, but Israel will also face fierce retaliation from Iran. As a result, it will be difficult for the Middle East to have a peaceful day.
