“But we can get our planes loaded and ready to fly in mimnutes or hours once the decision is made,” he added.
[Shafaq News] Israeli National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi
...who got this job as a consolation prize after not bring reelected to the Knesset in the 2022 election, so while he is knowledgeable and influential, he doesn’t actually have any power at the moment...
asserted that Israel is not currently on the verge of launching an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, as talks between Tehran and Washington continue in an attempt to ease tensions.

In an interview with Channel 13, Hanegbi highlighted the "uncertainty" surrounding the outcome of the talks initiated by the United States, Israel's primary ally that aims to identify measures to curb Iran's nuclear program and reduce hostilities.

Hanegbi clarified that any agreement resulting from the talks would not be considered binding on Israel.

Tel Aviv views a nuclear-armed Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
as an existential threat and remains vigilant in its security measures.

Regarding the possibility of a preemptive strike against Iran, Hanegbi stated, "We are not getting close (to this) because the Iranians have stopped, for a while now, and they are not enriching uranium to the level we see as the red line."

Israel's "red line" is defined as Iranian uranium enrichment reaching 90 percent fissile purity. Iran has increased its uranium enrichment to 60 percent in recent years.

Following the United States' withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal, which had capped Iran's uranium enrichment at 3.67 percent, Iranian and Western officials have been working to curtail Tehran's advancing nuclear activities.

The 2015 deal effectively curbed Iran's uranium enrichment and restricted its potential to develop nuclear weapons. Iran denies harboring any ambitions for nuclear armament.

#4  Kind of like the dreaded vote of confidence for a GM. I’m sure the Iranian military is bunkered down in their versions of full MOP gear - a peepee napkin over the face.
