Gen. Mattis: “Israel” Itself Will Attack Iran

Local Editor

Retired US Marine Corps General James Mattis recently said that the "West cannot stop Iran's nuclear program, because targeting it will not impede its progress as it extends from the capital all the way to the mountains."

According to the retired official, "the United States and "Israel" cannot eradicate the Iranian nuclear program," assuring that he sees a military attack not as a solution but rather as a threat to push Iranians towards diplomatic solutions.
Moreover, Mattis noted that "America pays a price for its perceived bias in support of "Israel".

"I paid a military security price every day as the commander of CentCom because the Americans were seen as biased in support of "Israel", and that moderates all the moderate Arabs who want to be with us, because they can't come out publicly in support of people who don't show respect for the Arab Palestinians," he said Saturday at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado in response to a question about the peace process.

Mattis took over Central Command, whose area of responsibility includes the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia, from David Petraeus in 2010.
