He said the move was made after Iran began restarting its nuclear programme in recent months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn light of this fundamental analysis, I have instructed the Israel Defense Forces to prepare a number of operational plans, in addition to those already in place,\u201d Kochavi said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will be up to the political leadership, of course, to decide on implementation but these plans need to be on the table.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The comments were an apparent signal to US President Joe Biden to tread cautiously in any diplomatic engagement with Iran.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA return to the 2015 nuclear agreement, or even if it is a similar accord with several improvements, is bad and wrong from an operational and strategic point of view,\u201d said Kochavi.<\/p>\n<div id=\"root\">\n<div class=\"container container--grid container--article container--white container--vertical-padding\">\n<div class=\"container__inner\">\n<div class=\"l-col l-col--8\">\n<div class=\"wysiwyg wysiwyg--all-content\">\n<p data-inc=\"1\">Such remarks by Israel\u2019s military chief of staff on American policy-making are rare and likely would have been pre-approved by the Israeli government.<\/p>\n<p data-inc=\"1\">Biden\u2019s predecessor, Donald Trump, abandoned the nuclear agreement in 2018 \u2013 a move welcomed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who criticised the sanctions relief it offered and warned of the likelihood of Iranian nuclear arms development after its expiration.<\/p>\n<p>Secretary of State Antony Blinken said last week the United States was \u201ca long way\u201d from deciding whether to rejoin the nuclear deal with Iran and it would need to see what Tehran actually did to resume complying with the historic pact.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1309157\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-fantasia-770 wp-image-1309157\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2017-11-09T150108Z_1312978536_RC1AEAFB7BE0_RTRMADP_3_ISRAEL-DEFENCE-AERIAL-TRAINING.jpg?w=770&amp;resize=770%2C513\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\">Since Washington pulled out of the deal, Iran has gradually breached its key limits, building up its stockpile of low enriched uranium, enriching uranium to higher levels of purity, and installing centrifuges in ways barred by the accord.<\/figure>\n<p>Kochavi said those actions by Iran, which denies it is seeking atomic arms, showed it could ultimately decide to push forward rapidly towards building a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n<p>Trita Parsi, an analyst from the Quincy Institute, said Kochavi\u2019s remarks were a clear message to Biden after Trump \u2013 a staunch ally of Netanyahu \u2013 left office last week.<\/p>\n<p data-inc=\"2\">\u201cEven before Biden took the oath of office, the Netanyahu government went after him extremely aggressively \u2013 took off the gloves right away \u2013 to try to pressure Biden not to go back to the nuclear deal,\u201d Parsi told Al Jazeera.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of Netanyahu\u2019s ministers said publicly that if the United States rejoins the nuclear deal \u2013 which is something Biden believes lies in the US\u2019 national interest \u2013 Israel would go to war. This is very serious at a very early stage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He noted in the past there had been tension between Israel and the US over its Iran policy, but it took time to come to a head.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis time, uniquely, it\u2019s starting right away. Netanyahu has thrown the first punch,\u201d said Parsi.<\/p>\n<p>In December, Biden\u00a0said in an interview\u00a0that returning to the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran was the best way to avoid a nuclear arms race in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>Iran has expressed a willingness to revive the agreement, saying the country would return to full commitments if Biden lifts sanctions.<\/p>\n<h2>Targeting Iran<\/h2>\n<p data-inc=\"3\">After Trump withdrew from the nuclear deal in 2018, tensions in the Middle East quickly escalated after a series of attacks and military incidents. The US launched a \u201cmaximum pressure\u201d campaign and reimposed a series of punishing sanctions that crippled Iran\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n<p>Last January\u00a0Qassem Soleimani\u00a0\u2013 head of Iran\u2019s elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp\u2019s Quds Force, and architect of its regional security apparatus \u2013 was assassinated in a US air strike near Baghdad\u2019s international airport. The killing brought the two countries to the brink of war.<\/p>\n<p>In November, Iran\u2019s top nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was killed in\u00a0a brazen attack\u00a0outside of Tehran as he drove in his car. Tehran blamed Israel for that killing.<\/p>\n<p>Netanyahu had threatened possible Israeli strikes against Iran in the run-up to the landmark nuclear accord with world powers. But a senior Israeli officer, who spoke to reporters in 2015 on condition of anonymity, underscored differences in Israel over the issue by saying a deal had potential security benefits.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Israel\u2019s top general warned attack plans against Iran were being revised and said any
