2019/09/29 08:30:22
A senior Israeli general has warned of a grim picture that could reach the brink of war in the struggle against Iran, which is trying to establish its presence in Syria and Iraq, stressing that the battle will be "more explosive than the past."
"The job of the head of the research department of the Military Intelligence (Aman) Division, headed by General Dror Shalom, is to be concerned, but more recently than ever before," the newspaper said.
"I have been touching a very bleak picture recently," Shalom said in an interview with the newspaper. "In the last year and a half, the tone has raised the level of probability of the explosion. The reality is more complicated than in the past, and we see it getting worse."
The general talked about the state of "explosion" on all fronts, and stressed that "in the end it is Iran; it is Iran's nuclear program, united its quest to establish its presence in Syria and Iraq and its attempts to transfer sophisticated weapons, and precision missiles to Hezbollah in Lebanon."
"We are very dangerous about Iran," he said.
In the nuclear context, Shalom said that there are three possible scenarios; first, that Washington reaches a new nuclear agreement with Tehran similar to or different from the past, and may not respond to all the wishes of Israel; The United States is forced to respond; this would lead to Nasrallah's demand for intervention, mainly toward Israel. "
The third scenario, according to the general, is "expansion towards nuclear, breaching the agreement below the brink of transition to the bomb," pointing out that Iran from the moment of decision to make the bomb, "needs two years towards the bomb and a year for sufficient radioactive material, but the contexts they are taking now They allow them to strengthen their strength. When they decide, it will be easier and faster for them. "

The evolution of the attack
and in response to a question regarding the extent of its ability to diagnose what is happening to Iran, he said: "breach of the nuclear agreement we will need to re part of the capabilities of this issue, and I'm certainly less quieter today, we have entered into a mysterious area in which they get it without delay what we need to be More sensitive, "stressing that" Iran is a very intelligent enemy, I certainly worry. "
On the duration of the knowledge of "Israel" Iranian sites and the possibility of finding them, the general said that "the working hypothesis at all times, that there are things I do not know, and for this there is a very well-organized network dealing with the nuclear issue, not only in Iran, but in the whole region, focused on the heart Every stone not to be surprised. "
He continued: "I am not calm in the Iranian context, and this negative change happened to us in the concept of challenge, unless we reach a new agreement to serve us," noting that "Israel, which carried out thousands of actions against Hezbollah weapons and attempts to stabilize the Iranian presence in Syria, moved from the branches To the logs; from attacking arms missions to attack the contents, "as he put it.
In addition to Israeli military activity, Shalom noted that "there is political activity, and the goal is to stay all the time under the brink of war, there are great achievements; there has been a lot of weapons that have entered, we have prevented the establishment of Shia militia bases, and Iranian economic investment has declined."
He warned that the Iranian General Qasim Soleimani, "is a very serious man, learning and determined and believes and develops all the time, and began to transfer the capabilities of its purpose to harm us in the battles between wars," adding that "
The general pointed out that "the Intelligence Division has two expected contexts; the first, as a result of the pressure on Iran in Syria, this will try to establish a presence in Iraq, and the second; Much. "

"Reasonable choice," he
said, "sophisticated capabilities may include; mobile missiles, rocket-propelled grenades, hovercraft and perhaps even more complicated."
As for what is happening in Iraq, he said: "Soleimani invested a large part of his time at the political level, and proven there capabilities, militias and allies, and he uses all this to influence the Iraqi political field, but also create another area of action not only against us, but against Saudi Arabia and the Gulf. , "He said.
He believed that the possibility of targeting Iran to Israel from Iraq, "a very reasonable option," likely Iran to launch "surface-to-surface missiles, mobile missiles or long-range drones."
The general stressed that "Iran has been hit hard, but it is active and does not raise its hands, but the development of capabilities, and what did not succeed with it the last time may succeed next time," claiming that "
Asked: "How much can the battle between wars continue so that it does not lead to war? Is it beginning to touch the brink of war?"
He continued: "I think we are beginning to touch the edge of war, and it is still our job as intelligence to be careful all the time on what we can do from under the edge of war, and point to places that will lead us beyond that."
The Israeli general stressed that "there is still free work in the battle between wars, and there is a need to be more cautious and more vigilant," and likely that the battle with Iran next year, "more explosive."
