According to Arutz Sheva, former Mossad chief David Barnea, speaking at the Israel Hayom conference in New York, warned that the Iranian regime is actively working to rebuild its nuclear program. He argued that any agreement with a 'terrorist regime' seeking Israel's destruction is futile. Instead, Barnea proposed a strategy of continued economic sanctions and a complete blockade of the Strait of Hormuz to cut off oil revenues, which he believes would cause the regime to struggle for survival. While acknowledging that war is an effective option for regime collapse, he noted it would cause significant global economic instability. Barnea also expressed appreciation for U.S. President Donald Trump's firm stance, describing it as leadership that prioritizes long-term global interests.
