IOF Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi said that preparing a military response to Iran's nuclear program is a "moral obligation and a national security order" in a speech at a ceremony that marked the transition of the military's Home Front Command Chief. 

Kochavi announced that “preparing the home front for war is a task that must be accelerated in the coming years, especially in light of the possibility that we will be required to act against the nuclear threat.”

He added that the IOF “continues to prepare vigorously for an attack on Iran and must prepare for every development and every scenario.”

He stresses that such preparation is at the heart of the IOF's preparations, which comprise a range of operational plans, the allocation of numerous resources, the purchase of necessary weapons, intelligence, and training.
