Israeli President Isaac Herzog said on Wednesday that his country was not continuing the change of diet in Iran and that his attack on Tehran was aimed at eliminating his nuclear capacities.
Addressing Dan Murphy de CNBC, Herzog said that the regime change was “not an official objective of ours” and that the objective was “to remove the Iranian nuclear program”.
Herzog, who accused Tehran of “cheating” and “rushing to the bomb”, added that a “change in [regime] can also bring peace to the region. “”
The International Atomic Energy Agency in a Declaration on June 9 Iran urged Iran to “cooperate fully” with the agency, otherwise it would not be able to guarantee that Iran’s nuclear program is exclusively peaceful “.
June 13, Israel launched a series of air strikes against Irantargeting the locations which, according to him, were linked to the country nuclear program. The two parties have since exchanged strikes.
“Sometimes you have to be difficult to eliminate imminent threats. This is exactly what we do,” Herzog told CNBC, adding that Iran strikes have had a real impact on its nuclear program.
US President Donald Trump would have said on Wednesday that Iran was “very close” to have a nuclear bomb, disagreing it with the testimony of its national intelligence director Tulsi Gabbard US Congress in March.
“The CI [intelligence community] continues to assess that Iran does not build a nuclear weapon and that the supreme chief Khamanei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program he suspended in 2003, “said Gabbard.
Earlier this week, the group of seven countries expressed its support for Israel, while condemning Iran as “the main source of instability and regional terror” and reiterated that “Iran can never have a nuclear weapon”.
This contrasts with the position of China. In the aftermath of the Israeli attack, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that Beijing “explicitly condemns Israel Violation of Iran’s sovereignty, “and said that it supports Iran to” protect its national sovereignty and defend its legitimate rights and interests “.
When asked if there was a diplomatic ramp available to defuse the situation, Herzog said: “There are actually a lot of channels.
