A senior Israeli defence official cautioned that a future conflict with Iran would be a “big failure” if Tehran’s enriched uranium is not dismantled. He warned that Iran could quickly resume its nuclear program and that Israel’s ability to act is constrained by a truce with Hezbollah, limiting responses to drone threats. The statements underscore Israel’s strategic concerns over Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
