Israel will prevent nuclear Iran says Netanyahu after IRGC Chief allegedly claimed Tehran will continue to pursue them
Netanyahu emphasized taking all necessary actions to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons following remarks by IRGC Commander Vahidi about Iran's nuclear intentions. The authenticity of Vahidi's statements is unverified, amidst tensions between US and Iran regarding nuclear development.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that Israel will take all necessary measures to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. This declaration came following purported remarks by Ahmad Vahidi, the Commander-in-Chief of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). According to Netanyahu, Vahidi had explicitly stated Iran's intention to continue developing nuclear weapons.
The Israeli Prime Minister emphasized that Israel remains committed to its goal of preventing Iran from possessing nuclear weapons, regardless of whether the United States and Israel possess them.
The authenticity of Vahidi's comments remains unverified, as they were first reported on an unofficial social media account under the name Mossad Commentary. Netanyahu's statement follows the collapse of the Iran nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and the subsequent resumption of hostilities between the two nations. The US war on Iran, which began on February 28, was one of the declared objectives of preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
