Joe Biden\u2019s campaign promise to get the US back into the Iran nuclear deal has yet to bear fruit, with Washington demanding that Tehran reduce its enrichment activities first. In the meantime, media reports suggest that Israel \u2013 the Middle East\u2019s only alleged nuclear weapons state, is engaged in major construction at its Dimona research facility.<\/p>\n

The Israeli military is \u201ccurrently working to build up\u201d its forces \u201cand is preparing itself for any scenario, including one in which we would need to take operational action to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons,\u201d Defence Minister Benny Gantz said<\/a>, his remarks cited by the Times of Israel.<\/p>\n

Gantz, who also serves as Israel\u2019s alternate prime minister, said the military preparations were being taken in parallel with Tel Aviv\u2019s diplomatic efforts to pressure the Biden administration into modifying the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action Iran nuclear deal, if not scrapping it entirely.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all need to make sure that if an agreement is signed with Iran, it will be one that ends its nuclear project, enables long-term effective oversight and inspection, and puts a stop to Iranian entrenchment in Syria, Yemen and Iraq,\u201d the minister said.<\/em><\/p>\n

Iran maintains that it has no intention of pursuing nuclear weapons, and has warned both the Trump and Biden administrations that it will not accept any effort to modify the terms of the JCPOA in any way. The US has a binary choice \u2013 take the deal or leave it, according to Tehran.<\/p>\n
