He also commented on the successful Hetz-3
missile test on Monday. "I think the Defense Ministry deserves our warm congratulations for proving Israel's technological superiority and human quality," he said.
Regarding the international talks
with Iran,
which have commenced on Tuesday in Kazakhstan after an eight months hiatus, he said: "It's clear to us Iran's aim is to stall for time while they forge full speed ahead towards nuclear capabilities."
The Committee acting chairman further said that "It's the international community's duty, based on past experience with North Korea
and Iran, to move on to more substantial steps than those implemented so far."
