Eisenkot says army ‘reassessing new reality’ after Iran deal
IDF chief Gadi Eisenkot is assessing the implementation of the nuclear deal between world powers and Iran, two days after the so-called “Implementation Day,” when sanctions were officially lifted.
Speaking at the Institute for National Security Studies, Eisenkot says that “there is no doubt that the accord between Iran and the West is a turning point.”
Iran is giving Hezbollah in Lebanon $1 billion a year, says the IDF chief. The military is doing a “reassessment,” he says, to see how this “new reality” will affect the IDF.
