Bibi: Iran Making a Bomb. IDF Chief: No It’s Not
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to CNN:
Sanctions “better work soon” — so far they “haven’t rolled back the Iranian program — or even stopped it — by one iota.”
IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz to Haaretz:
The sanctions are beginning to bear fruit …
How do you know what they’re doing [building a bomb]? Netanyahu: Oh, we know.
IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz to Haaretz:
I don’t think Ayatollah Khamenei will take the next step and decide build a bomb … “I think the Iranian leadership is composed of very rational people.”
