{{Israel’s prime minister says North Korea’s recent nuclear test shows that “sanctions alone will not stop” Iran’s atomic program.}}<\/p>\n
Benjamin Netanyahu told a gathering of international Jewish leaders on Monday that the Western sanctions against Tehran “have to be coupled with a robust, credible, military threat. If they are not, then there is no chance to stop them.”<\/p>\n
He says Iran will top his agenda when President Barack Obama visits Israel next month.<\/p>\n
North Korea conducted a nuclear test last week despite warnings of more international punishment. Iran, like North Korea, is under stiff sanctions from the West over its nuclear program.<\/p>\n
Israel sees Iran’s nuclear program as an existential threat. Netanyahu often hints about a possible strike on Iran’s nuclear sites if sanctions fail.<\/p>\n
