The JCPOA did not include Iran’s missile project, which can serve Iran to deliver a nuclear cargo. It put serious restrains on Iran’s nuclear program.
On July 14, 2015, after long negotiations, the JCPOA – (The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) was sigbned between Iran and world powers. The Israeli goal was to put enormous pressure on Iran, forcing the latter to accept major concessions regarding its nuclear program while hoping to drive the Iranian people to topple the regime there. At the same time Israel strove, including by threatening to bomb Iran, to convince the international community, mostly the United States, to use diplomacy to isolate and to impose crippling sanctions on Iran. Israel considered to launch an air attack on Iran, but such a strategy had many constraints and risks. In late July 2022 Ehud Barak, Israel’s former prime minister, who served also as minister of defense and chief of general staff of the IDF (Israel Defense Forces), argued that “the effort to block Iran from turning into a nuclear power is at its lowest ebb ever, apparently headed for failure.” This article examines Israel’s efforts in the last decade, aimed at stopping and at least slowing down Iran’s nuclear program. Iran has chemical weapons, and an advanced nuclear program, which eventually might produce nuclear weapons, allowing Iran to annihilate Israel. Israel has nuclear weapons, according to non-Israeli sources. Brigadier General Amir Hatami, the former Iranian defense minister and an advisor to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, claimed in late August 2022 that Israel has no legitimacy, and it is about to crumble. Iranian leaders had threatened over and again to destroy Israel. Since then, following the Islamic revolution, Iran sees Israel as its arch - enemy. Israel and Iran used to be allies, until 1979.
