‘Iran threat dwarfs others’

Israel’s prime minister says the threat from Iran dwarfs all others the Jewish state faces.

Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his cabinet yesterday: “Iran must not be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons.”

Mr Netanyahu said recently that no decision had been made on whether to attack or not. However, there is no way to know whether hints from Israel’s leadership indicate actual policy positions, or are part of a disinformation campaign meant to pressure Iran to abandon its nuclear ambitions. Tehran says its nuclear program is peaceful, designed mainly to produce energy.
