PM says world ‘can be wrong’ about Iranian nukes

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that despite reassurances, the world could be “wrong” about Iran’s intentions and the deal may yet fail to prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons — just as the world failed to prevent North Korea from attaining the bomb.

Netanyahu made the remarks in a join press conference with visiting Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi.

“Sometimes the entire world can be wrong. It was dead wrong on another nuclear deal, the one with North Korea,” Netanyahu says.

“We were told then by the international community, the scientific community, the arms control community that that deal would prevent North Korea from getting nuclear weapons and it would make the world safer,’ he continues, adding, “Well, we all know how that turned out.”

According to Netanyahu, Israel is not alone in opposing the deal — it is opposed my “many” Arab states as well.

Netanyahu also censures the financial windfall Tehran will receive in the wake of the deal: “That’s more money for the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, more money for the Quds Force, for Hezbollah, for Hamas and Islamic Jihad, for the Libyan proxy terrorists of Iran, more money for the Shiite militias in Iraq, for the Houthis in Yemen.”
