Netanyahu: Iran must not have centrifuges or enriched uranium

Israel’s Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said Thursday that the best defense against a nuclear Iran is to keep a nuclear weapon out of its hands. Addressing a ceremony in Netanya marking the 69th anniversary of the WWII victory over Nazi Germany, Netanyahu said Tehran needs centrifuges and enriched uranium for the single purpose of building a nuclear weapon. “Tehran must be deprived of that capability,” he stressed.
