Israel will continue to maintain its freedom to act against Iran even if the US returns to the 2015 Iran deal, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said on Tuesday, in a speech on how Israel plans to “retool” its strategy against the Iranian threat. “Israel against Iran is really the whole world’s battle against a radical Islamist regime that seeks a Shi’ite hegemony under a nuclear umbrella,” Bennett said at Reichman University’s Institute for Policy and Strategy. “We hope the world won’t blink, but even if they do, we don’t plan to blink.”
Bennett said the current time is “complex,” because Israel has disagreements with its greatest allies. The US and Iran are set to return to indirect negotiations in Vienna next week on rejoining the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which would have Washington lift sanctions while imposing limitations on Tehran’s ability to enrich uranium. “Even if there is a return to an agreement [with Iran], Israel is not a party to it – is not obligated by it,” said Bennett.
