A political commentator tells Press TV that the Israeli regime is not capable of waging a long-term war against the Islamic Republic of Iran. The US Senate Foreign Relations Committee has adopted a resolution to assist Israel in case of a military attack against Iran, as the Israeli regime repeats its military threat against the Islamic Republic. On Tuesday, the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee adopted "Senate Resolution 65," according to which the US will provide the Israeli regime with diplomatic, economic and military assistance if Tel Aviv decides to launch an attack against Iran. Earlier, Israeli military Chief of Staff Lt. Gen Benny Gantz said on Tuesday that, "We have our plans and forecasts... If the time comes we'll decide" on whether to take military action against Iran. Press TV has conducted an interview with Randy Short, a political commentator in Washington, to further discuss why a nuclear-armed Israel threatens Iran continuously over its civilian nuclear program and also examine the ramifications of a US resolution that would unconditionally back Israel if it attacks Iran. The video also offers the opinions of one additional guest: Richard Millet, who is an author and journalist in London.
