If Iran gets a nuclear bomb it may actually use it, Prime Minister Binyamin
Netanyahu said Monday, rejecting the notion that Tehran would act responsibly if
it became a member of the world’s nuclear “club.”
Netanyahu, in a meeting
with visiting Australian Foreign Minister Bob Carr, spelled out five things that
would likely happen, were Iran allowed to go nuclear: There will be nuclear
proliferation in the Middle East as various other actors will then want to have
a bomb; Iran will have a firmer hand on the “choke point of the world’s oil
supply,” namely the Strait of Hormuz; there will be a magnification of global
terrorism because the terrorists under Iran’s sway will believe that they have
immunity; and Israel’s cities will be rocketed even more because those firing
the rockets will feel that they enjoy a nuclear umbrella.
That the
Iranians might actually use the bomb is a reality that cannot be denied,
Netanyahu said.
“This is a regime that has broken every rule in the
book,” he added. “They very likely could use weapons of mass
death.”
Netanyahu said there was an illusion among many in the world that
if Iran acquired nuclear weapons, it would behave responsibly like the world’s
other nuclear states.
