Israeli Air Force Commander General Ido Nehushtan claims his forces are ready to follow any order to thwart Iran’s nuclear programs.

“The IAF is a very robust and flexible force … ready to do whatever is demanded,” the Nehushtan told German magazine Der Spiegel on Tuesday.

He added, however, a military strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities “is a political decision” and has nothing to do with Israel’s military capabilities.

Tel Aviv and Washington have repeatedly accused Tehran of pursuing a military nuclear program, a claim denied by the Islamic Republic. Israel has said it will not rule out any option to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear program, insisting that the use of military force is a legitimate option.

The Nehushtan interview coincides with recent remarks by former Israeli military general, Moshe Ya’alon, who said that Israeli armed forces have the ‘right capabilities’ to launch a successful strike against Iran.
