Netanyahu: World Must Not Cave To Iran’s Demands

Source: Jerusalem Post

Israel won’t support any agreement that allows Iran to be a threshold nuclear state, Netanyahu said.

By TOVAH LAZAROFF \ 11/09/2014

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday warned the six world powers, including the US, against caving to Iranian demands to pursue its nuclear program, just so that it can meet a November 24th deadline to conclude a deal with Tehran.

“The international community faces a clear choice,” Netanyahu said. “It can cave to Iranian demands in an agreement that would be dangerous for Israel and the world.”

“Or it can stand firm and insist that Iran dismantle its capacity to produce nuclear weapons,” he said.

He spoke as Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif met with US Secretary of State John Kerry, European Union envoy Catherine Ashton and Oman's Foreign Minister Yusuf Bin Alawi Bin Abdullah in Oman to advance efforts to end a standoff over Tehran's nuclear program, according to Oman TV.

2. Obama: "Our number one priority with respect to Iran is making sure they don't get a nuclear weapon"

President Barack Obama told CBS' "Face The Nation" that his administration's "unprecedented sanctions" on Iran are what forced Tehran to the negotiating table. "Our number one priority with respect to Iran is making sure they don't get a nuclear weapon," he said.

But Obama also cited "a big gap" between Iran and world powers as they try for a final agreement. "We may not be able to get there," he said in the interview broadcast Sunday.

Sounds like the sanction are working so far.

It would be the end of Tehran as they know it. I really find it hard to believe that Iran with a nuclear weapon would be all that dangerous.

The one I worry about is Pakistan. Multiple nukes and a government on the edge of collapse to Taliban insurgents.

I don't think he can use the "I was just following orders" ala Adolph Eichmann.

Israel and the United States are two countries that cannot be tried there.

And while he's at it, maybe Israel should sign onto the NPT. Bibi could make history.

Why do we bother with this guy? His comments are ALWAYS the same. His fear mongering against HIS arch-enemy is ALWAYS OUR business. Fook him! Maybe he could "make nice" one time. Maybe he could show some "diplomacy skill", or even offer an olive branch or a comment that isn't threatening to "wipe THEM off the face of the earth".

I couldn't care less what Israel thinks about Iran. THEIR problem....I wish.

Maybe if Israel signed off on the Non-proliferation treaty this wouldn't be an issue? At least it wouldn't be hypocritical.
