(ANTIMEDIA) In Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to Congress today, he exclaimed, “Iran could soon be armed with intercontinental ballistic missiles and nuclear bombs.” This declaration that Iran is close to obtaining a nuclear weapon is nothing new for the Prime Minister.
In 1992, Netanyahu, who was then a member of Israeli Parliament, said that Iran was only three
to five years away from developing and securing nuclear arms. He also
urged the United States to intervene to prevent such an occurrence from
transpiring by stating that Iran’s race to obtain nuclear weapons needed
to be “uprooted by an international front headed by the US.”
