Contrary to the announcements emanating from the governments of Israel and Canada, Independent Jewish Voices (IJV) believes there is no evidence that Iran is on the verge of producing nuclear weapons. By way of contrast, it is widely known that Israel has been building such weapons since the late 1960s and is now estimated to possess hundreds of them in its arsenal, which is far and away the largest in the Middle East.

Meir Dagan, the former head of Mossad, Israel's national intelligence agency, rejects the government's claims that Iran is building nuclear weapons and have strongly recommended against attacking that country. Others who share Dagan's views on this matter include Gabi Ashkenazi, a former Army Chief of Staff, and Yuval Diskin, the former head of Shin Bet, Israel's internal security service.
