IDF vows to continue striking Iran’s nuclear program
IDF chief of staff responds to Iran's demand that Israel's attacks on nuclear sites stop if UN wants full inspection access to resume.
The Israeli military’s chief of staff said operations targeting Iran’s nuclear program will continue, rebuffing a demand by Tehran that they halt if the United States and the United Nations want inspections of Iranian nuclear facilities to continue.
"Operations to destroy Iranian capabilities will continue, in any arena and at any time, and the operational plans against Iran’s nuclear program will continue to be developed and improved,” IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Kochavi said Tuesday.
Kochavi’s comments came a day after the Israeli prime minister’s office accused Iran of being behind an assassination attempt on wealthy Israeli businesspeople in Cyprus last week.
Prime Minister Neftali Bennett’s spokesperson, Matan Sidi, called the attempt an “act of terror.”
