Netanyahu: If Iran Is Not Stopped, It Will Have a Nuclear Arsenal of 100 Bombs
(Prime Minister's Office) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the Jerusalem Post Diplomatic Conference on Dec. 6: "If Iran continues unabated, they will have a nuclear arsenal of 100 bombs and more. Within a decade they'll have a capacity to enrich uranium on a vast scale and break not to one bomb but to 100 bombs. This has to be stopped. Not merely because Iran calls for the annihilation of Israel, but because Iran wants to conquer the entire Middle East and go even beyond that. It's developing ICBMs to reach any point on earth. It is an aggressive regime, it exports terrorism, it fires missiles into Saudi Arabia, it is seeking a land bridge [to Israel]." "Countering Iranian aggression will significantly aid the fight against Islamist terror. 95% of the problems in the region emanate from Iran. Hizbullah wouldn't last a day without the scaffolding provided by Iran. Hamas is dependent on Iran....Terrorists who are not confronted get bolder with time. And the appetite of expansion, Iran's expansion, grows stronger with time." "We will not let them establish themselves in Syria. We will...do whatever is necessary to prevent that."
