"Until Iran dismantles its military nuclear program, sanctions must not be eased - on the contrary. Only the pressure brought Iran to this point, and only the continuation of pressure and its strengthening can bring them to dismantle their nuclear program," Netanyahu was quoted as saying.

“Sanctions” have never accomplished jack sh*t.
War is coming to the Middle East, sooner or later, and the Israelis better start gearing up for it now.
The way things are going with Premier Hussein, the Israelis can’t count on American assistance, either.
The best they can hope for is that we stay the f*** out of it.
Netanyahu is correct. When Iran gets the a-Bomb or thermonuclear device, Israel and the US will be in immediate jeopardy. The US president knows this but does not know what to do.
Thanks nuconvert.
In a world where North Korea and Pakistan are nuclear, Iran is a much lesser worry. Unlike the Sunni militants who one day could get possession of a Pakistani bomb, Iranians do not have a history of flying airplanes into American buildings. Iran’s sponsorship of Hezbollah is rightfully troublesome to Israel, but the US’s whole international policy can not be chained to Israel’s local problem in Lebanon.
Israel has been warning the West for at least 16 years now and nobody cares because it is not an immediate threat to them (wrong).
When Israel defines a particular threat, formally as an “existential threat” you can be sure they're planning the single largest most lethal raid in their history. They have no choice.
With Pres. Obama at the helm (sort of) it's pretty predictable what is going to happen. Softpower, Reset, Outreach - all of these doctrines weaken America significantly and Israel knew it.
So, they have had to play the diplomatic BS game for years, just to placate a naive US President and Sec. of State. all the while gearing up for a major strike and retaliation.
They know, they know they just wish the US would have shown SOME backbone and resolve...it ain't gonna happen
Remember the 2007-8 campaign ads? It's 3 AM and the hot-line rings, who do you want to answer it?
Answer: Not Hilliary and Not Obama...maybe Bibi Netanyahu?
