International Relations Minister Yuval Steinitz warned on Sunday that Iran having a nuclear weapon would be equal to “thirty nuclear North Koreas”.
“We have the right and the ability to defend ourselves,” he said in a speech at the Jerusalem Post Conference in New York. “The cooperation with the United States is very important but ultimately each country will make its own decisions on maintaining its security,” said Steinitz, stressing that “Israel can deal with any threat.”
80 years ago, said Steinitz, “only one person identified on time and warned the world against the rearmament of Nazi Germany. This was Winston Churchill, but people refused to listen. Some people even mocked him.”
“We shouldn’t repeat the same mistake again,” he added, referring to Iran. “The Nazis spoke about the final solution of the Jews in Europe, and the Iranians are talking about destroying the Jewish State in the Middle East. We have to learn from history, even if it doesn’t repeat itself exactly, and if there’s a lesson to learn from history, it is not to repeat the same mistake again and not to allow, come what may, the nuclearization of Iran.”

Bump
Nuclear blackmail over all the Middle East. America can not allow that to happen. For more reasons than one.
The people who would push the buttons don’t care if the whole country gets turned to glass. They’ll do it anyway.
Norks want to live. They do this to blackmail the west for food. Muslims don’t care. They think they win either way. They are in for a rude awakening, either way.
I think Americans need to worry much more about North Korea.
Define recent, since we know their leadership used human wave attacks including children during the Iran-Iraq War. They also used the same Basiij personnel against their own population to quell unrest after Ahmadinejad’s questionable reelection.
Given the cooperation between Iran and NK, the nuclearization of one probably equals both.
