Israeli Chief of Staff: Israel must be prepared for a protracted war with Iran

According to a report by Golden Finance, on the 20th local time, the Chief of Staff of the Israeli Defense Forces, Zamir, made a video speech stating that Israel must be prepared for a "protracted war" against Iran to "eliminate a threat of such magnitude". Zamir said that Iran has been developing a clear plan for many years with the intention of destroying Israel. In recent months, this plan has reached an irreversible point, and its capabilities have reached a practical level. Zamir said that when the Israeli military launched the operation, Iran had about 2500 surface to surface missiles with extremely high production capacity. Based on this calculation, Iran's missile inventory will reach about 8000 missiles within about two years. Iran's development in ballistic missiles, the expansion of proxy powers in the Middle East, and the advancement of its nuclear program "force us to launch a preemptive strike". He said that the Israeli military has been preparing for this operation for many years, and the reason for launching it now is because the convergence of combat and strategic conditions has reached the best timing.
