Israel, US Monitoring Iran and Ready To Renew Strikes If Necessary, Defense Minister Says in...

Israeli defense minister Israel Katz delivered a confidential briefing to lawmakers on Tuesday night, telling them "that Israel and the United States are prepared to resume strikes on Iran if the regime attempts to rebuild its nuclear or ballistic missile programs," the Free Beacon's Andrew Tobin reports from Tel Aviv.
"Katz delivered the classified update to members of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee at the Kirya military headquarters in Tel Aviv," writes Tobin. "The meeting came one day after a U.S.-brokered ceasefire ended a 12-day conflict between Israel and Iran. Both countries, according to Katz, believe diplomacy with Tehran is unlikely to succeed and are prepared to enforce the ceasefire through coordinated military pressure if Iran moves to reconstitute its strategic capabilities."

"Latz said the United States supports Israel’s efforts to prevent Iran from accessing key nuclear infrastructure and is cooperating on enforcement. The coordinated stance, he said, includes monitoring sensitive locations such as the Fordow enrichment facility and known missile depots." Here's how Boaz Bismuth, a member of the committee who attended the meeting, put it:

"If they have the bad idea, the fantasy of rebuilding, then I believe there will also be a restart in damaging their programs. A nuclear Iran should be not only a fantasy, but in the domain of science fiction."
