Israel Warns the US of the Threat Posed by Iran's Ballistic Missiles

In recent meetings, senior Israeli military officials have warned their American counterparts that Iran's ballistic missile development program poses as serious a threat to Israel's existence as its nuclear program, and that Tel Aviv is prepared to act independently if necessary. This information was reported to The Jerusalem Post by sources within security services.

According to these sources, the Israeli side emphasized that it will not allow Iran to restore strategic weapon systems to a scale that could threaten Israel's existence, and retains the right to choose its course of action.

As reported by JP, Israeli military officials presented operational approaches to reduce the effectiveness of Iran's missile program, including potential strikes on key production facilities. “We have told the Americans that Israel will strike if Iran crosses our established red line regarding ballistic missiles,” noted the publication’s source, adding that this threshold has not yet been crossed, but Israel is constantly monitoring developments within Iran.
