Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz
Bloomberg: Israel Prepared to Attack in Iran, Defense Minister Says
(Bloomberg) -- Israel is prepared to attack Iran, Defense Minister Benny Gantz said, as his country lobbied for a response to a fatal drone attack on an Israeli-operated oil tanker that it blamed on the Islamic Republic.
Asked in an interview broadcast on a local media website whether Israel is prepared to assault Iran, Gantz gave a one-word answer: “‘Yes.”
Pressed on whether he sought military action against Iran now, Gantz replied: “We must not see Iran only as Israel’s problem and exempt the rest of the world.”
Pushed further on whether that confrontation should be military, he said, “Yes, yes,” and added, “and Israel has to do its part.”
The defense minister also replied in the affirmative when asked whether Israel’s military is ready for a multifront conflict that might include Iran.
