Israeli army is capable of attacking Iran on its own without foreign support

Israeli army is capable of attacking Iran on its own without foreign support, Chief of Staff Benny Gantz told public radio.
  
Asked in an interview if the Zionist entity’s military could wage attacks "alone" -- without the support of countries such as the United States -- against the Islamic republic, Gantz replied, "Yes, absolutely."
  
"We have our plans and forecasts... if the time comes we'll decide" on whether to take military action against Tehran," he said.
  
Gantz's comments echoed statements earlier this month by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said "Israel would at no stage... abandon our fate into the hands of other countries, even our best friends."

In a separate interview on Tuesday with news website YNet, Gantz said the possibility of an Israeli strike on Iran was not imminent, and that sanctions imposed by the international community should be given priority to stop Tehran's nuclear drive.
  
"Iran has the means to obtain nuclear capability before the end of the year, but this does not mean it'll get there," he said, adding that "sanctions, isolation and continued pressure" on Tehran must intensify.
