Netanyahu tells Fox News ‘anti-American’ Iran ‘should not have nuclear weapons’

In his interview with Fox News a short while ago, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues to make his case for tightening the restrictions on the Iranian regime and its nuclear program.

Even “without nuclear weapons,” Iran is “gobbling up one country after another, it’s threatening to annihilate Israel, it’s started to put its army in Syria in the service of a tyrannical regime. It’s started to put precision-guided munitions in Lebanon. That means that they can fire rockets at Israel that can hit the office I’m speaking in, and everything else. They’re trying to foment terrorism in Gaza. They’re firing rockets into Riyadh, in Saudi Arabia, from Yemen, which they’re also seeking to conquer,” he says in the televised interview.

“I mean, that’s what they’re doing now. And they hate America, they hate America’s guts. So I think if that’s what they’re doing without nuclear weapons, think of what will happen if they get an arsenal of nuclear weapons if this deal just goes through as is.”

He adds praise for US President Donald Trump: “So I’m very glad, I have to tell you, that President Trump has stood so firmly and so clearly on this issue, and he said that will not happen. And that is something that I fully back. And I think that’s not only in the interest of Israel and the United States — that’s obvious — it’s in the interest of the world.

“This tyrannical anti-American regime should not have nuclear weapons.”
