Israeli defense official slams nuclear deal with 'evil' Iran
In an interview with Al-Monitor, Amos Gilad, director of the diplomatic-security bureau of the Israeli Defense Ministry, claims that Iran's acceptance of the recent nuclear deal is just a ploy to continue developing nuclear capabilities.
Maj. Gen. Amos Gilad (ret.), director of the diplomatic-security bureau of the Defense Ministry, is convinced that Iran has not decided to abandon the military component of its nuclear program. According to him, the deal is one big exercise in deception by the Iranian regime.
Gilad, who formerly headed the research division of the IDF’s Intelligence Corps, thinks that Iran came out the winner in its negotiations with the world powers, and that this is a bad outcome not only for Israel, but for the stability of the entire Middle East and the free world in general.
In an interview with Al-Monitor, Gilad explains why he thinks the agreement is dangerous, and why no one should be taken in by the “smiling diplomacy” of Tehran. To make his case, he offers several public statements by senior Iranian officials about their goal of obtaining nuclear weapons — even after the agreement was reached.
