“Iran has violated all the guidelines set out in the (nuclear agreement) JCPOA and is only about ten weeks away from procuring weapons-grade material that is necessary for a nuclear weapon,” Defense Minister Benny Gantz said at a meeting with ambassadors from Countries that are on the UN Security Council.
The dispute over the 2015 Vienna nuclear deal with Iran is one of the many reasons for the tensions in the Middle East, which are constantly increasing. Israel sees its very existence threatened by Iran’s nuclear program. In 2015, Tehran committed itself to producing only low-enriched uranium as a fuel for nuclear reactors. the US unilaterally terminated the agreement in 2018.
The meeting took place over a fatal attack on a tanker in the Gulf of Oman for which Israel, Romania, Great Britain and the USA blame Tehran. Iran, in turn, categorically denies this. Two people died in the July 29 incident.
