Netanyahu demands US “blow up” Iran nuclear facilities in case of deal

“Israeli” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday that he and US President Donald Trump “agree that Iran will not have nuclear weapons”.

On the prospects of a deal, Netanyahu says that the goal of preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons can be achieved diplomatically, but only if their nuclear facilities are physically and blown up and dismantled.

He drew parallels to Libya in 2003, after US forces removed and destroyed the Libyan nuclear program.

“We go in, blow up the facilities, dismantle all the equipment, under American supervision and American execution, that is good,” Netanyahu says.

The other option is military, he further claimed, adding that he and Trump discussed this possibility during their meeting at the White House yesterday, Tuesday.
