Defense Minister Yoav Gallant tells his Greek counterpart that Iran has enriched enough uranium for five nuclear bombs.
“Make no mistake – Iran will not be satisfied by a single nuclear bomb. So far, Iran has gained material enriched to 20% and 60% for five nuclear bombs,” Gallant tells Greek Defense Minister Nikolaos Panagiotopoulos during a visit to Athens. “Iranian progress, and enrichment to 90%, would be a grave mistake on Iran’s part, and could ignite the region.”
Gallant adds that Israel will not allow Iran to continue its attempts to build a stronghold in Syria.
“Over the past six months, Iran has sent aircraft to Syria on a weekly basis, delivering weapons to be used for terrorism,” he says. “The Syrian regime should be aware that the IDF will respond forcefully to any attacks launched from its territory. We will not allow Iran to establish military power in Syria, or to build a highway for the delivery of advanced weapons to Lebanon.”

This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
