Recent news reports from the Washington Post and the BBC
have reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu along with Israeli
Defense Minister Ehud Barak could have overstated the current view that Iran is
attempting to develop nuclear weapons and possibly mislead the public if Iran
is indeed developing a nuclear weapon.
Former chief of the Israeli domestic intelligence agency
(Shin Bet) Yuval Diskin has accused Israeli leadership of misleading the public
on the outcome of a possible strike of Iran’s nuclear program sites. Yuval Diskin has stated that if Israel
were to attack Iran, the attack might actually speed up any attempt by Iran to
develop and produce a nuclear weapon.
Mr. Diskin is not the only one that believes an attack on Iran by Israel
will only speed up Iran’s production of a nuclear weapon, if they are indeed
attempting to do so, many experts agree with Mr. Diskin and believe an attack
on Iran would be a mistake.
This comes right after Israeli Army Chief of Staff Lt.
General Benny Gantz stated that he believed the sanctions placed on Iran by the
international community are starting to have an effect on Iran and that he
believes Iran will choose to not develop a nuclear weapon.
Back in March 2012, Israeli foreign intelligence service,
Mossad, also publically voiced its opposition to military action against
Iran. Iran still denies that it
has any intention to develop nuclear weapons.
