Defense Minister Benny Gantz tells Egyptian television that Israel is determined to ensure Iran does not reach nuclear weapons capability.
"Israel has a clear goal - that Iran will not have nuclear capabilities," Gantz told Cairo-based channel Alghad.
"The IDF and the defense establishment retain the option of working against the nuclear project if that is what needs to be done. I hope we do not get there," he said. "[Iran's] support for terrorism, Hezbollah and the Houthis requires us to act against the Iranian regime."
