Former Brigadier General Erez Wiener stated on Wednesday that Israel and the United States are approaching a critical juncture regarding a decision on military action against Iran. In an interview with Eli Zipori on Radio Galey Yisrael, Wiener explained that the question is no longer if, but when, an attack will occur. He indicated that this dramatic decision will need to be made by the US President and the Israeli Prime Minister following the US midterm elections. Wiener emphasized that while the decision might not be immediate, it cannot be postponed indefinitely. He also presented an alternative scenario where Iran itself could dictate the timing of any response, forcing the US and Israel to react to Tehran's actions rather than acting on their own predetermined schedule. "It could also be that Iran will decide for us," Wiener said, suggesting that Tehran's move could compel both nations to respond before they have fully deliberated and decided.
