Israel reserves the right to take whatever action is needed to survive
in the face of Iran's nuclear ambitions, the Jewish state's far-right
infrastructure minister, Uzi Landau, said.
"We'll take the actions that are necessary for our survival,
we'll do whatever is necessary at that time," he told AFP late
Wednesday, expressing regret that EU nations did not see the Islamic
republic as a major threat.
"It is better not to talk now about the details" of any action, he said, amid concern that Iran is covertly building an atomic bomb as it develops a civil nuclear programme.
"By the actions taken by most European governments you don't see that the gravity of the situation has been understood," said Landau, from the far-right Yisrael Beitenu party.
