PM: “We must always remember that the greatest danger facing” the world is a nuclear-armed Iran.
“To defeat ISIS and let Iran get nuclear weapons would be to win the battle and lose the war,” he says.
“We can’t let that happen,” he stresses.
Applause.
“But that my friends, is exactly what could happen, if the deal now being negotiated is accepted by Iran.”
He says deal will “guarantee” it gets weapons.
Netanyahu says some terms of deal are now public record, “you can Google it.”
“We know for sure that any deal with Iran will include two major concessions,” he says: preserving its nuclear infrastructure which would allow it break-out capability.
“Not a single nuclear facility would be demolished,” and centrifuges will remain.
Says break-out time would be a year, by US assessment, shorter by Israeli assessments.
Netanyahu says inspectors “document violations, they don’t stop them,” and that’s a “problem.” He uses N. Korea as an example.
Iran “plays a very good game of hide and cheat” with inspectors.
