israeli security if tosh appeared director of the military balance project and member of the institute for national security studies explores tel aviv's plans to rein in iran's nuclear ambitions. with me i have if ducks appear the director of the military balance project at the institute for national security studies here in tel aviv thank you very much for joining us here in r.t. your work and when we sat down together a couple of weeks ago you said it was not in israel's interest to launch a military strike on iran why do you think israel should not strike iran i don't think that is really a force is large enough or strong enough to actually destroy the iranian nuclear weapon project might cause damage some damage but it would not. destroy it so it would not
2:32 am
achieve anything if you think the u.s. would consider cooperating with israel in such a strike but quietly it's first of all those no quietly in this issue because things would tend to come out sooner or later so to begin with. on the one hand i think president obama has not ruled out an american strike yet even though his military is very reluctant to get into another war in the middle east i don't think you would do it during an election year so can't let the reason for its all to launch a strike now before there's a new american leadership in place there is think there is a future in the united states that that is what we are going to do that an israeli attack mode. draw the united states into that war
2:33 am
probably prematurely it would force the united states to to get into war because in the rhenium counterattack would almost undoubtedly be targeted against united states of the world as against israel. so the united states would be drawn this route course i think such an action without an american consent would cause a great damage to israeli relations strategic relations with the united states for an extended period of time do you think that the hostile instance we simply declared against iran i mean after satisfied the israeli government not to launch a strike they might satisfy it for time being i think the general. attitude in israel is that the sanctions are not enough and they are not going to convince iran even if they would be much else or would not convince iran
2:34 am
not. to continue not to pursue. nuclear weapon project how do you measure iran's capability to launch a counter attack iran has a couple good duty of launching a missile attack on israel a direct attack on israel with few hundred shahab me science what would be the effectiveness of such an attack what are what is their accuracy of these missiles i don't know all. but i don't suppose we would be worse off than we have been in ninety ninety one when we were under iraqi missile attack them it was cost and no one actually got killed but. there's no guarantee that that is not going to be to happen we had an old arrow which we didn't have then we would be able to intercept. at least some part of these attacks
2:35 am
missiles attacks and the greatest damage would be as in the case of the. cue for rocket attack the economic damage to israel because under such attack everything comes to a standstill and what about arab support for an israeli strike on iran you mentioned american involvement but surely it's also needs arab assistance in the form of landing lights and even feeling a systems many arab countries are very cautious of iran. for example saudi arabia has been urging the united states attack iran for many years now they are terrified they really are terrified on the other hand assistant assistance to israel and still out of. out of their agenda in the open israel would have to fly over arab countries.
2:36 am
and the it has done so before and it can be done without their consent or with. covertly consent we could get assistance or landing rights from countries like i don't believe saudi arabia would do it but the united arab emirates might do that. just remember that the distance from the united arab emirates to on all the iran is as far as from israel maybe even longer so. this kind of a landing rights would be helpful only in case of attacking targets or in thousand iran another. convert a mike to be. might be but again it's problematic.
2:37 am
might be given by oh by jove which is on the north side of the rain and border they have no good relations with israel trouble is that to get from israel to observers and you have to overfly turkey and at the moment i don't see with the current relations between israel and turkey i don't see the turks giving any need for any aid if we look across the border at syria why is serious so important for western nations could it be that it's the last obstacle before any invasion of iran that is tough for them why syria is important. is it important i mean to to the west and the state i don't see any western country in the intervening in syria as the good in people and yet there is so much attention and focus on syria and particularly army president bashar assad's
2:38 am
handling of the situation so how do you explain that oh the that could be expected from the west it's much closer to europe and with traditional relations traditional relations with countries like france. and when such atrocities take place them and they cannot stay quiet is there a connection between what is happening in syria and what is happening in iran where there is a connection obvious connection because iraq is syria has been and the us sudra dream has been iran's closest ally for over two decades i mean. this is. the mean out of iran into lebanon into me to the whole region into influencing israel if us of the region falls apart. iran is standing produce
2:39 am
a very strong alley because any government on the plate place who would take the government in syria whether it be a western ally and democracy which is not very likely all muslim muslim brothers who are sunnis and were very hostile to she is she ate iran. any. one would be either hostile to iran or. corporation with iran as much as the bashar al assad regime has been so iran is tending to lose its supply of weapons to the syrian opposition enough to upset the regional arms balance right now no right no what i think saudi arabia started and started to were supplying them with weapons but we're talking
2:40 am
about like weapons so this as far as or as long as that is what is happening i don't think this will change them in the balance of power in the middle east they're still very weak as a possible but they can be simultaneous interventions in syria and iran doesn't seem likely i don't see the european european union or nato going into syria and i don't see the european union or nato. taking part in an attack against iran this could be nato could. you know who would try to draw the europeans into attacking targets in iran doesn't seem very likely you have to accept here thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. you're welcome.
