PM Netanyahu told US GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney sanctions have not moved the Ayatollahs “one iota” from their nuclear program.
Prior to entering a meeting between the two men in Jerusalem Sunday, Netanyahu and Romney spoke with reporters for a few minutes, and both referred to the Iranian nuclear threat to the world, and to terrorism.
“I think it's important to do everything in our power to prevent the Ayatollahs from possessing [nuclear] capability,” commented Netanyahu. “We have to be honest and say that truth and diplomacy have not set back the Iranian program by one iota. That's why I believe we need a strong and credible military threat coupled with the sanctions to have a chance to change that situation.”
Of one thing the U.S. could be sure, however, Netanyahu added: “In this great convulsion there is one stable democratic ally of the US here in the Middle East, and that's Israel.”
