(Iran International) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Iran International on Wednesday, "I came back into government precisely to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear state," vowing to do "everything possible to prevent it." He said Israel will not tolerate a "nuclear threshold" Iran. "For such a regime to have nuclear weapons when it is committed openly to the destruction of not merely my own country but to the subjugation of the world...and chants death to Israel, death to America and everyone else in between," is a dangerous proposition, Netanyahu said. He praised the "courage of the Iranian people" who through their recent protests showed "the true nature" of the regime. "There is a moral imperative and a security imperative" to stand up to the regime and take action, including "crippling" sanctions on the Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) and a "credible" military option to send a clear message to Tehran. Netanyahu's message for Iranians was, "We stand with you, I stand with you, most of the world stands with you...don't lose heart, be strong." He also praised Iran's civilization and the talents and abilities of its people to achieve successes once the Islamic regime is gone. He voiced certainty that Israel and a free Iran can have solid relations.
