Defence Minister Benny Gantz asserted that a restored JCPOA “does not mark the end of the road. It opens the door to important action that must be taken [against Iran, such as]… stopping the development of ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads”. Gantz also maintained that “enforcement and supervision by the IAEA are crucial but not enough. We need to have offensive capabilities and a set of sanctions ready in our back pockets in case Iran violates the agreement”. “We must deal with Iranian aggression and support for proxies and ensure that their ‘so-called’ security budget isn’t increased and money isn’t poured into terrorism”, he added.
