Waziri Mkuu wa Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, amesema katika taarifa ya video kuwa agizo la kuangamiza mpango wa nyuklia wa Iran lilitolewa mwezi Novemba 2024, na ameahidi kutoa taarifa za video kila siku pale itakapowezekana.
"Agizo hilo lilitolewa muda mfupi baada ya kuuawa kwa [kiongozi wa Hezbollah Hassan] Nasrallah," amesema, na kuongeza kuwa ilikuwa wazi kwake kwamba Iran ingewahi kuharakisha kutengeneza bomu mara tu mhimili wake wa mawakala (proxy) ungevunjwa na Israel.
Netanyahu amesema Israel ilibaini hatua za wazi zilizokuwa zikichukuliwa na Iran kuelekea utengenezaji wa silaha, hatua ambazo zilikwenda zaidi ya utajirishaji wa urani pekee.
Amesema alikusudia tarehe ya mwisho ya operesheni hiyo iwe mwishoni mwa Aprili 2025, lakini hakueleza kwa undani sababu zilizozuia utekelezaji kufanyika wakati huo, akitaja tu kuwa “kulikuwa na sababu mbalimbali.”
The directive to take out Iran’s nuclear program was given in November 2024, says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a video statement, pledging to give daily video updates when possible.
=====================
“The directive came shortly after the assassination of [Hezbollah leader Hassan] Nasrallah,” he says, adding that it was clear to him that Iran would rush toward the bomb once its proxy axis was shattered by Israel.
Israel, he says, identified tangible steps Iran was taking toward weaponization, beyond just uranium enrichment.
Netanyahu set the date for the end of April 2025, he says. He points to “various reasons” it couldn’t be done then, without going into detail.
One very pressing reason might have been US President Donald Trump’s announcement in April that he would engage in direct talks with Iran over its nuclear program.
Instead, it was set for this morning, he says, without explaining why he chose that day.
He says that after Israeli strikes on Iran’s ballistic missile program last year, Tehran embarked on a program to create 300 ballistic missiles a month.
“We decided we couldn’t wait anymore. We are at midnight.”
Netanyahu claims he wanted to strike in 2011-2012, but couldn’t garner enough support. Other security officials at the time have denied this account, though.
