In his remarks, Minister Gantz said that “if there is a nuclear agreement between Iran and the superpowers, it is not the end of the verse but the beginning of the actions we must take. Nuclear explosion, and deal with the validity of the agreement and what happens after it.
“There is no doubt that the enforcement and supervision of the IAEA is critical – but it is not enough. “Even if an agreement is signed,” offensive capabilities and a package of significant sanctions must be prepared in case Iran sooner or later violates it. “
Gantz added that “according to the data we have, after the signing of the previous nuclear deal, Iran has increased its defense budgets by 50%. We must continue to fight Iran’s envoys and armaments in the Middle East, and make sure .
“Iran’s aggression does not only affect the region, I would like to reveal to you today one picture that says it all. In the picture we see a model of the advanced UAV made in Iran, the Mujahjar 6, presented by the President of Venezuela. In addition to the development of Iranian UAVs through Iranian knowledge in Venezuela, our estimates indicate that advanced and accurate armament adapted to Mujahar 6 and other UAV models has been sent from Iran to Venezuela recently.

“In my meetings with many partners from around the world, including from Africa and America, they express concern about Iran’s support for terrorist-supporting countries and terrorist organizations around them. The Iranian threat repeatedly proves to be a global, regional and Israeli challenge.”
The defense minister went on to say that “Iran is in a social and economic crisis. There are demonstrations, famine, water shortages and serious human rights violations. Therefore, in Iran’s current budget proposal, there should be major reform and investment in welfare. I pray that this will happen. From the agreement, it will be used for citizens groaning under the hardships.But I have big doubts on the subject.
“Therefore, the international community, under the leadership of the United States, must constantly think about both defensive and offensive measures, in order to deal with Iranian aggression anywhere, anytime. We have the ability to develop defense systems, and we have a duty to share intelligence and the means as a community to pressure Iran to stop generating terrorism. These are important tasks that will continue to be carried out and intensified, regardless of the existence or non-existence of a nuclear agreement. “
