"No shifting of the goalposts": Israeli envoy Reuven Azar details 3-point plan to neutralise Iran threat

Israeli envoy Reuven Azar outlines the three strategic goals to neutralise Iran's nuclear and missile threats and support the Iranian people.

"We have stated at the outset that we have three goals: to neutralise the nuclear threat, to neutralise the ballistic missile threat, and to give the Iranian people an opportunity... - Reuven Azar"

New Delhi, March 16

The Ambassador of Israel to India, Reuven Azar, has affirmed that the strategic objectives of the joint US-Israel operations against Iran remain firm, stating that there has been "no shifting of the goalposts" regarding their military aims.

While speaking to ANI, the Israeli envoy detailed the primary mission of the current conflict, asserting that the coalition is focused on three specific outcomes.

"We have stated at the outset that we have three goals: to neutralise the nuclear threat, to neutralise the ballistic missile threat, and to give the Iranian people an opportunity to embrace the future by degrading the capability of the forces of oppression inside Iran," Azar said.

The Ambassador emphasised that the ongoing military campaign is strictly aligned with these established intentions.

"So, we are doing exactly that. Nothing has changed in terms of our aims," he remarked, adding that the ultimate goal is to ensure that "after this war is over, the Iranian regime cannot reconstitute these plans."

Addressing the recent retaliatory actions taken by Tehran, Azar noted that the Iranian military response was expected.

He claimed that previous operations in June had already significantly diminished Iran's offensive power, resulting in a less effective strike against Israel this time.

"We are not surprised. We knew that the Iranians have these capabilities. In fact, following our effort back in June, we have degraded the capabilities of the Iranians, and the damage that they are inflicting on Israel now is much less than what they did back in June," the Ambassador explained.

He further criticised the scale of the Iranian response, describing the decision to target multiple nations as a "completely irresponsible" escalation of the conflict.

"They decided to escalate by attacking 12 countries in the region. I think this is completely irresponsible," he added.

The envoy maintained that the international community should view Tehran as the primary instigator.

"The pressure is on them and will continue to be on them because they are the aggressors," Azar stated.

Interesting to hear the "three goals" framework. However, the phrase "give the Iranian people an opportunity" sounds like regime change rhetoric. India has always advocated for diplomacy and dialogue. Military solutions often create more long-term problems, as history shows. 🇮🇳

The envoy's confidence is notable, but attacking 12 countries? That's a serious claim. As Indians, we've seen how cross-border tensions affect everyone. The international community must ensure this doesn't spiral into a wider war. Our sailors in the Strait of Hormuz need safe passage!

India has strong ties with both Israel and Iran. This is a delicate situation for our foreign policy. We need to balance our strategic partnership with Israel and our crucial energy imports from Iran. Hope our diplomats are working behind the scenes. Jai Hind!

The part about degrading capabilities since June is telling. Shows this is a long-term campaign. While Israel has a right to defend itself, the scale of the response and the goals seem immense. Worried about oil prices impacting our economy yaar. 🛢️📈

Respectfully, the envoy's statement feels one-sided. Calling Iran the sole aggressor ignores the complex history of the region. India's position of strategic autonomy and speaking to all sides is the correct approach. Violence only breeds more violence.
