A number of nuclear weapons plants throughout Iran were attacked in the past week, with responsibility being attributed to the United States and Israel. The former commander of the Navy, Major General Eliezer (Cheney) Marom, addressed today (Tuesday) the question of whether Israel should act against Iran’s progress towards a nuclear bomb on Gadi Ness’ program on Radio North 104.5FM, and said: “I think the sword is on our neck. We need to understand that we are very close to this event, therefore the Netanyahu government has reached the time when a decision needs to be made.”

“Two parallel phenomena are happening here, but it is important to understand them,” said Marom. “Iran is a comma before a nuclear threshold state, in terms of enrichment they are very close to enriching by 90 percent or more and this brings them very close to the bomb. In terms of weapons we are not sure as we do not know all the data and it is possible that it is not yet fully mature.”
According to him, “Today, Iran is involved up to the neck in the war in Ukraine, through Russia. We are facing something that we have to put a lot of effort into. A connection has been formed, an alliance between Russia and Iran, an alliance of lepers, and this may eventually give rise to Russian military, planes, weapons , this may cause that if we want to attack it will be difficult for us to attack. What should we do? I do not think that the Western world, led by the United States, will reach a situation where they will use military force against Iran, it is difficult for me to see that happening. Israel does not have many choices, said the late Meir Dagan, ‘When the sword reaches the neck we will act’ – I think the sword on The neck, there’s nothing to do.”
“What is the alternative? That Iran is a nuclear country?” Marom asked. “This means that the other major countries in our region will become nuclear. This means Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia even – do you want to live in such a Middle East? I don’t. What alternative are we facing? Has the time come? If we look at football terms from the 90th minute , we are in the 85th minute. We need to understand that we are very close to this event, that’s why I think the Netanyahu government has reached the time when they have to decide.”
