Israel’s outgoing army chief Aviv Kochavi said in a series of farewell interviews on Friday that Israel has devised three operational plans to attack Iran to “neutralize” its nuclear program. 

Days before being replaced by his successor Herzi Halevi, Israel’s army Chief of Staff said that Iran has an “active weapons team,” which “has been working at a very slow pace, and this is in violation of the nuclear deal.” According to Kochavi, Iran currently has enough fissile material for the production of four bombs using highly enriched uranium.

This prompted Israel to come up with different plans to prevent Tehran from obtaining nuclear weapons. 

“These extend from a retaliatory strike on Iran that would be unrelated to the nuclear issue, to the taking out of the Iranian nuclear installations and auxiliary sites in that project, and if the situation eventually escalates into a full-fledged campaign then these plans also include the targeting of military sites and other assets,” Kochavi told Israel Hayom.
