(Ynet News) Yitzhak Benhorin - Israeli Ambassador to the UN Ron Prosor warned the Security Council Tuesday that Iran is continuing its steady march towards developing nuclear weapons. While there are 17 different countries peacefully producing nuclear energy without uranium enrichment, Iran continues insisting on the matter. "Make no mistake - the Iranian program is not for peaceful purposes....When negotiating with Iran, the international community must - as Prime Minister Netanyahu said - distrust, dismantle and verify," Prosor said. "The Iranian economy is crumbling under the weight of crippling sanctions. And this pressure is getting results. (Iran) reminds me of a boxer who is clinging to the ropes in the final round. Give him a moment to rest and he will turn around and attack you with more vigor. We must keep up the pressure until Iran agrees to play by the rules."
