Netanyahu "Not Impressed" by UN Report on Iranian Nuclear Slowdown

(Prime Minister's Office) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday: "I'm not impressed with the reports that we hear that Iran has not expanded its nuclear facilities. And the reason for that is they don't need to. They've got enough facilities, enough centrifuges, to develop and to complete the fissile material which is at the core of an atomic bomb. They have that, and the test today is not whether they add to the capacity they already have. The question is will the international community roll back what they have. 'Roll back' means that they dismantle centrifuges and that's not included in the proposed deal in Geneva." "People say: 'If we don't strike this bad deal with Iran, Iran will walk away from the deal.' Well, I have news for you. They're not going to walk away from this deal. It's a dream deal for them. In fact what has to be done is to get a good deal for us, not for Iran. A good deal for security; a good deal for peace. And you're not going to achieve that with smiles; you're going to achieve that with pressure - sustained pressure of sanctions. That's what's required....But I guarantee you one thing. Israel will not allow Iran to get nuclear weapons."
