Netanyahu fears ‘terrorism beyond our wildest dreams’ if Iran gets nuclear weaponry
Published: September 23, 2009
NEW YORK (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that if Iran acquires nuclear weapons it could “bring terrorism beyond our wildest dreams.“
Netanyahu said Wednesday morning in an interview on NBC’s “Today” that if the U.N. Security Council doesn’t act against Iran’s nuclear program, then leading nations could put pressure on Tehran “especially when it comes to imported petroleum products.“
Netanyahu called Iran “the major terrorist-sponsoring state of our time. He says that Tehran “could give those nuclear weapons to terrorists or give them a nuclear umbrella that would bring terrorism beyond our wildest dreams.“
Iran says its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is speaking to the U.N. General Assembly later Wednesday.

Israel has every right to be afraid as should the rest of the world and especially the United States when Iran makes a nuke. Israel no longer has a friend in the WH. “Iran is not a threat” according to Obama. This is in disregard to what other experts think including the IAEA. Guess these groups are just racist to disagree with Obama. When Iran makes nukes, they will sell them to groups who want to attack the US and Iran will attack Israel. I guess if New York, Washington or another major American city disappears in a flash Obama will blame Bush since so far nothing has been his fault, including the decisions he has made are Bush’s fault.
