In Washington, Defense Minister Benny Gantz said Friday that Iran is building up its forces in the country’s west “in order to attack countries and forces in the Middle East in general and Israel in particular. We are preparing for any such attempt, and will do everything necessary to protect our citizens and our assets
He said Israel was “preparing for any such attempt, and will do everything necessary to protect our citizens and our assets.”
Gantz met on Thursday with his counterpart Lloyd Austin and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. In a statement, the minister’s office said he’d detailed to American officials Iran’s use of attack drones to strike its enemies through its proxies as well as from Iranian territory.

He said that in 2018 Iran apparently tried to provide such a drone armed with TNT to Palestinian terror groups in the West Bank.
After Gantz’s meeting with Austin, he said Iran “is not just a threat to our physical security” but “a concrete threat to our way of life and our shared values.”

He added: “In its aspirations to become a hegemon, Iran seeks to destroy all traces of freedom, human dignity and peace in the Middle East and beyond. The nuclear program is a means to its hegemonic goals.”

Gantz stated that in talks with world powers, “Iran is playing poker with a bad hand and it’s playing with time.”

With Blinken, Gantz discussed further developing ties between Israel and the other signatories to the Abraham Accords normalization agreements signed last year, and the possibility of normalizing relations with new regional partners, Gantz’s office said.

Gantz flew to Washington on Wednesday for meetings with top US military leaders, as troubled nuclear talks resumed in Vienna.
Talks in Vienna on Thursday ended an hour after resuming following a few days’ pause, with tensions high after Tehran made demands last week that European countries strongly criticized.

Last week’s talks were the first in over five months, a gap caused by a new hard-line government assuming power in Tehran. European diplomats last week urged Tehran to come back with “realistic proposals” after the Iranian delegation made numerous demands that other parties to the accord deemed unacceptable.

For the record, Benny Gantz, war minister of Isra-Hell is accused of war crimes against the Palestinian civilian population.

at best what Iran can do is harassment, their allies (SAA, Hezbollah and other shia militia) in the countries bordering Israel are weak and could be rolled in a major offensive.

this is more a precursor towards justifying a pre-emptive strike against Iran nuclear facilities.

Indonesia has refused to recognize the State of Israel until a peace agreement is reached between Israel and the State of Palestine. Indonesia has strongly stood up for the rights and freedoms of the Palestinians and has supported the struggles of the Palestinians.

- Your support for Israel, France and other colonial powers goes against your country's (see above).

I am not supporting anyone, including Israel. I'm just stating the obvious, Iran and whatever allies they have are not suited for high intensity kinetic conflict with Israel. They WILL be crushed.

Personally I think Gantz is lying, everybody knows Iran are not a credible threat at all, but this is more like an act of justification towards any Israeli strike towards Iran nuclear facilities.

The Arabs had lost their wars to Israel mostly because they betrayed each other by providing their own secrets to Israel.

Here's an example when Morocco tipped off Israeli intelligence, and ‘helped Israel win the Six Day War’ in 1967:

King Hassan ll sharpened Israel's edge by providing secret recordings of Arab leadership discussions in run-up to war, says former military intelligence chief

The weakness of the Arabs in wars does not mean that the Israelis are somehow "super warriors".

I personally think that the Israelis are cowards by nature, they have been tremendously helped by the West, and that there will be a war that will give Israel a giant defeat in the foreseeable future.

WRONG ! Arab militaries just like most non-Western/non-NATO militaries have one distinct weakness. They are build for petty politics first, battlefield prowess later.

Some of the identified Arab military deficiencies as follows:

1. Culture
2. Education problems
3. Problematic military hierarchy
4. Lack of military leadership
5. Lack of know-how on combined arms op
6. Paranoia and insecurities

Why Arabs Lose Wars

Arabic-speaking armies have been generally ineffective in the modern era. Egyptian regular forces did poorly against Yemeni irregulars in the 1960s.1 Syrians could only impose their will in Lebanon during the mid-1970s by the use of overwhelming

All of this trait are found in almost (if not all) Asian and African armies (including Iran) with the exception of Japan's SDF, Apartheid South African army and Israeli IDF.

You are a know-it-all.
You'll probably also claim that you know my country more than I do. Well, you practically already did. lol
How many of these nationalities have you met and known ?
Reading on the internet alone is not enough to comprehend such complex problems.

You who know and love France, can you please teach me some French ?

You know, it is easy nowadays to follow the heard in these forums, most people have become supporters and admirers of Israel, when actually Israel commits war crimes every day on the Palestinian population that they are holding hostage. It is like shooting fish in a barrel.

Anymore, If you remain independent and critical of the criminal regime of Israel, people start will looking at you as being weird.
