The world must not allow Iran to rebuild its nuclear and military programs, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Friday, a day before the United Nations is set to reimpose sanctions on Tehran, APA reports citing Reuters.
All U.N. sanctions on Iran are due to be reimposed at 8 p.m. EDT on Saturday (0000 GMT) after European powers, known as the E3, triggered a 30-day process accusing Tehran of violating a 2015 deal meant to prevent it from developing a nuclear weapon.
"We removed an existential threat to Iran, to Israel, rather, and a mortal threat to the civilized world. We lifted a dark cloud that could have claimed millions and millions of lives, but ladies and gentlemen, we must remain vigilant," Netanyahu told the U.N. General Assembly, referring to Israeli and U.S. bombings of Iran's nuclear installations in June.
"We must not allow Iran to rebuild its military nuclear capacities, Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium. These stockpiles must be eliminated, and tomorrow, U.N. Security Council sanctions on Iran must be snapped back," he said.
Iran denies seeking nuclear weapons.
