A list of talking points distributed to Israeli cabinet members emphasizes “indiscriminate” Iranian attacks on Israeli population centers. It states that Israel had “no choice but to attack Iran’s fuel depots,” which are used to fuel the production of weapons and launch missiles at Israel, television network i24 reporter Amiel Yarchi writes on X.
The talking points further state that “during the war, intelligence materials were collected that pointed to a concrete Iranian plan aimed at destroying Israel,” he continues, adding that “Iran has come closer than ever to obtaining nuclear weapons, to the point of no return. We have no choice but to act to protect ourselves.”
The content of the talking points is also shared in a separate post by Radio Kol Barama reporter Avi Moskoff.
