Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said today that Israel will not allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons, noting that it has led “countless overt and covert" operations that have set back Iran's nuclear program by "nearly a decade," Agence France-Presse reported.
“As the prime minister has repeatedly stated, Israel will not allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon,“ Netanyahu's office said today, as US President Donald Trump seeks to broker a new nuclear deal with Tehran.
“The prime minister has taken countless actions, both public and secret, to combat Iran's nuclear program, without which Iran would have a nuclear arsenal today. These actions have set back Iran's nuclear program by nearly a decade,“ the office added in a statement.
