Gantz to former US defense officials: All options on Iran remain on the table

Defense Minister Benny Gantz meets a delegation of high-ranking former US defense officials to discuss the security challenges facing Israel, most prominently the threat of a nuclear Iran.

Gantz says he told the delegation that Iran’s “further progress” toward nuclear weapons capabilities is “the most dangerous possibility” and that Israel is “working closely with our friends in the US government… to communicate to Iran that all options remain on the table at all times.”
