Netanyahu Warns Israel Will Act Alone to Stop Iran’s Nuclear Ambitions
by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Correspondent
(Worthy News) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Sunday that Israel is prepared to act alone if necessary to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Speaking at the Jewish News Syndicate (JNS) International Policy Summit in Jerusalem, Netanyahu insisted that any agreement with Tehran must result in the complete dismantling of its nuclear program.
“We cannot live with anything short of that,” Netanyahu said. “One way or the other, Iran will not have nuclear weapons.” He emphasized that the only acceptable deal would be similar to the 2003 agreement with Libya, which fully removed all nuclear, chemical, biological, and missile programs. “A bad deal is worse than no deal,” he warned.
Netanyahu argued that Iran could exploit partial agreements to delay action and resume enrichment when conditions change. “Iran will say, all right, I won’t enrich, wait, run out the clock, wait for another president, do it again. This is unacceptable,” he said. He stressed that dismantling Iran’s ability to enrich uranium and preventing its ballistic missile development were critical. “I think these are the two requirements,” Netanyahu said, referencing a previous conversation with President Trump.
The prime minister’s remarks come as the United States and Iran concluded a third round of indirect nuclear talks in Muscat, Oman, with both sides citing “serious progress” but acknowledging significant gaps. Israeli officials have repeatedly warned that they have not ruled out military action against Iran’s nuclear facilities. According to a Reuters report, Israel remains prepared to strike, even as President Trump indicated reluctance to support an operation for now.
Beyond the nuclear threat, Netanyahu portrayed Iran as the orchestrator behind broader regional destabilization, accusing it of driving the October 7 Hamas attack as part of a multi-front campaign against Israel. “They proceeded to embark on a campaign targeting Israel … and to export the revolution worldwide: ‘Death to Israel, death to America,’” he said.
He also highlighted recent Israeli military operations, praising the September 27 assassination of Hezbollah’s Hassan Nasrallah as a major blow to Iran’s regional proxy network. “It was a terrific blow,” Netanyahu said, calling Nasrallah “the axis of the axis” of Iranian influence.
Addressing the U.S.-Israel relationship, Netanyahu expressed gratitude for American support against Houthi missile attacks from Yemen but made clear Israel does not seek U.S. troops. “We will fight with our fingernails if we have to. We are not a vassal state,” he declared, pushing back against international pressure from the United Nations and public opinion campaigns.
Turning to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Netanyahu firmly rejected the notion that creating a Palestinian state would bring peace. “The idea that you create a Palestinian state and that will produce peace … is folly. Nothing more than folly,” he said, citing the Hamas takeover of Gaza and the atrocities of October 7 as proof that Palestinian rejectionism, not Israeli policy, is the core obstacle.
“We are in close contact with the United States,” Netanyahu concluded, “but one way or the other, Iran will not have nuclear weapons.”
