Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, is scheduled to arrive in Israel on Thursday for talks with Defense Minister Ehud Barak, Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz, and other senior defense and intelligence officials.
Netanyahu said the Iranian economy was “showing clear signs of stress.”
“For the first time,” he said, “I see Iran wobble under the sanctions that have been adopted and especially under the threat of strong sanctions on their central bank.”
“Without sanctions on Iran’s central bank and on its oil exports, the regime will not back down and will not stop its nuclear program,” the official said.
