Reserve Brig. Gen. Arad says Iran's nuclear program was hit, but the threat remains
In an interview on Radio 103FM, reserve Brig. Gen. Erez Wiener said Iran's nuclear project had been destroyed, but warned that the danger would continue for years. The broadcast was aired at 17:42 on June 21, 2026.
Wiener argued that Israel had broken the fear barrier around striking Tehran. He said the operation showed that Iran could be attacked and that this changes the strategic picture.
He also said Donald Trump would not allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons. In his view, the wider regional threat has not disappeared, and there are still many other dangers in the Middle East.
The comments were made against the backdrop of ongoing concern over Iran's military capabilities and its nuclear ambitions. Wiener presented the strike as a major blow, but not as the end of the confrontation.
