It is noted that Danat was the British officer who, after the attacks of September 11, 2001, was involved in the planning of operations in the Middle East. As Commander of the Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (ARRC), he led ARRC headquarters in planning troop deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. " In war, timing is everything, but the time may not be now, " says Danat in an article in the Telegraph about Israel's possible retaliatory attack on Iran. Britain's top military officer explains that Israel has lost much of its international support since October 7 because of its " excessive tactics " in Gaza. As he characteristically says, the Israeli operation in Gaza is poorly thought out and lacks a strategic objective. " Therefore, Israel would do well to stop now and make decisions after studying it carefully" because "a massive reaction against Iran itself could be counterproductive, " he says. Unlike Israel, Iran lacks sophisticated air defense systems and its allies are a panoply of "terrorist" groups scattered across the Middle East. A major Israeli strike on Tehran, Iran's oil fields or alleged nuclear sites could result in massive destruction and loss of life, they warn.
