Gantz said earlier during a speech at a conference for The Jerusalem Post in New York that Iran is producing better centrifuges, including in underground facilities.
He added that if a nuclear agreement is reached with Iran, it “will be ready to resume enrichment in a short time.”
“We must increase cooperation with regional partners to counter Iran… We must provide a credible military deterrent, regardless of the diplomatic decision… In any future scenario, we must also create a strong intelligence alliance between partners,” Gantz said.
Gantz accused Iran of refusing to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency on its three undeclared facilities because it has something to hide.
He called for more pressure on Iran, saying “the pressure on Iran must continue.”
