Netanyahu: Iran Is "Pursuing Nuclear Weapons and the Means to Deliver Them to American Cities"
(Ynet News) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered a confident assessment of the joint U.S.-Israel campaign in Iran in an interview with Newsmax on Monday. "We've already degraded their missile capabilities, destroyed factories, and eliminated key nuclear scientists....They are pursuing nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them to American cities. That's what this war is about - preventing that outcome." Netanyahu said Iran's attempted missile strike near Diego Garcia, 4,000 km. from Iran, "puts much of Europe within range." Netanyahu warned that Western leaders have long underestimated Iran's nuclear and missile programs, contributing to the current situation. "The question is whether the West will wake up," he said. "This is not just Israel's problem," he said, adding that the goal remains to ensure Iran cannot threaten Israel, the U.S. or their allies with nuclear weapons. "We're making steady progress."
