Israel accelerates plans to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities, ambassador says

Israel is preparing a new and highly advanced military operation targeting Iran that could eclipse previous regional actions, including the wide-scale 2024 bombing campaign against Hezbollah operatives in Lebanon, Israeli Ambassador to the United States, Yechiel Leiter stated.

In an interview with the American TV channel Merit Street, Ambassador Leiter suggested that the upcoming mission will demonstrate an unprecedented level of strategic precision and military capability, Caliber.Az reports.

“We’re progressing ahead of schedule."

Israel’s Ambassador (yechielleiter) tells Lyndsay MKeith that the ultimate goal is to ‘demolish all nuclear weapon facilities in Iran.’”

He said that what Israel was preparing in response to Iranian threats would make the 2024 strikes on Hezbollah’s communication infrastructure seem almost simple by comparison, referring to the coordinated Israeli assault that had disrupted Hezbollah’s encrypted pager network and mobile communications the previous year.
