JERUSALEM - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ramped up threats to attack Iranian nuclear facilities on Sunday, convening a rare cabinet war drill after he accused United Nations inspectors of failing to confront Tehran.
Israel has long maintained that for diplomacy to succeed, Iran must be faced with a credible military threat. The possibility of multiple fronts, he said while surrounded by security cabinet ministers and defence chiefs, requires Israel’s leadership “consider, if possible consider ahead of time”, its major decisions.
“Iran is continuing to lie to the International Atomic Energy Agency. The agency’s capitulation to Iranian pressure is a black stain on its record,” he told his cabinet in televised remarks. The watchdog risked politicisation that would lose it its significance on Iran, he said.On Wednesday, the agency reported that after years of investigation and lack of progress, Iran had given a satisfactory answer to explain one of three sites at which uranium particles had been detected.
