Israeli official: Nuclear Iran Could Constrain Israel in Fighting Hamas, Hizbollah

A senior military official voiced concern that a nuclear-armed Iran could deter Israel from confronting Iranian-backed enemies Hezbollah and Hamas on its borders.

IDF Military planning division chief Maj. Gen. Amir Eshel said Tuesday that a nuclear would create a dramatic change in Israel's strategic posture, because if we are forced to do things in Gaza or Lebanon under an Iranian nuclear umbrella , it might be different."
