In one of the latest turns in the war between Israel and Iran, the Israeli Prime Minister said that their rival has actively worked to assassinate President Donald Trump.
“They want to kill him. He’s enemy number one. He’s a decisive leader. He never took the path that others took to try to bargain with them in a way that is weak, giving them basically a pathway to enrich uranium, which means a pathway to the bomb, padding it with billions and billions of dollars,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Fox News’ Bret Baier during a special Sunday edition of “Special Report.”
“He took up this fake agreement and basically tore it up. He killed Qasem Soleimani. He made it very clear, including now, ‘You cannot have a nuclear weapon, which means you cannot enrich uranium.’ He’s been very forceful, so for them, he’s enemy number one,” Netanyahu said.
The Prime Minister said his country was facing an “imminent threat” of a nuclear attack and was left with no choice but to act belligerently in the “12th hour.”
“We were facing an imminent threat, a dual existential threat,” he said. “One, the threat of Iran rushing to weaponize their enriched uranium to make atomic bombs with a specific and declared intent to destroy us. Second, a rush to increase their ballistic missile arsenal to the capacity that they would have 3,600 weapons a year…. Within three years, 10,000 ballistic missiles, each one weighing a ton, coming in at mach 6, right into our cities, as you saw today… and then in 26 years, 20,000 [missiles]. No country can sustain that, and certainly not a country the size of Israel, so we had to act.”
