Jerusalem (Terror Monitor) — Israel has once again threatened to launch attacks against Iran, warning that it could strike Tehran even if Iran reaches an agreement with the United States.
According to local media, Israeli Energy Minister Eli Cohen said Israel would again target Iran if it resumes efforts to develop nuclear weapons or ballistic missiles.
In a recent interview with Israeli media, Cohen said Iran would be attacked again if it repeated what he described as the mistake of restarting its nuclear program.
Cohen claimed that Iran would have obtained nuclear weapons if Israel had not launched its previous attacks.
He also said that joint U.S.-Israeli military strikes had set Iran’s nuclear program back by several years.
