Benjamin Netanyahu

On Iran

"By next spring, at most by next summer, at current enrichment rates, they [Iran] will have finished the medium enrichment and move[d] on to the final stage. From there, it’s only a few months, possibly a few weeks before they get enough enriched uranium for the first bomb.” —Benjamin Netanyahu to the UN on Iran's progress on making a nuclear weapon, 2/23/2015 via The Guardian [[1]]

"[An Iranian nuclear bomb] was a lot further away 15 years ago when I started talking about it. It was a lot further away 10 years ago. It was a lot further away five years. It was a lot further away five months ago. They are getting there, and they are getting very, very close."—Benjamin Netanyahu, 3/7/2012 in a Fox News Interview[[2]]

On Iraq War

"And today the United States must destroy the same regime because a nuclear-armed Saddam will place the security of our entire world at risk. And make no mistake about it — if and once Saddam has nuclear weapons, it is only a matter of time before those weapons will be used." —Benjamin Netanyahu, 9/2002 in testimony before Congress [[3]]

"If you take out Saddam, Saddam’s regime, I guarantee you that it will have enormous positive reverberations on the region."—Benjamin Netanyahu, 9/2002 in testimony before Congress [[4]]
