Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi vowed on Tuesday to continue military operations to counter Iran’s military capabilities, including its nuclear program, Times of Israel reports.

“Operations to destroy Iranian capabilities will continue, in any arena and at any time, and the operational plans against Iran’s nuclear program will continue to be developed and improved,” Kohavi said during a ceremony for new Military Intelligence chief Aharon Haliva.

Major General Tamir Hayman, the outgoing intelligence chief, said that the Islamic Republic was currently stable but predicted it would eventually fall.

“Although it is an unjust totalitarian regime, which oppresses its citizens and will end up falling, it is stable for now,” he said.

“History has taught us what becomes of such dark regimes,” Hayman added.
