Israel’s military chief has warned that the country is working on possible options for a strike on Iran if required as it urges President Joe Biden against rejoining the multinational 2015 nuclear deal with Tehran, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany.

Lt. Gen. Aviv Kohavi issued the warning in an address to the Institute for National Security Studies on Tuesday, as Israel and Iran both seek to put pressure on the new U.S. president ahead of an expected announcement on his approach for dealing with Iran’s nuclear program, which the U.N.’s atomic watchdog agency said in September last year was suspected to have stockpiled low-enriched uranium 10 times over the limit set in 2015 deal.
