The Israeli prime minister hit out at Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in his speech to the United Nations yesterday, calling him a “a wolf in sheep’s clothing.”
Mr Netanyahu warned the General Assembly that Mr Rouhani’s sweet-talking visit to the USA last week was a “ruse”, designed to buy time while his country builds its nuclear weapons.
He said: “A nuclear-armed Iran would have a choke-hold on the world’s main energy supplies, it would trigger nuclear proliferation throughout the Middle East.”
Likening a nuclear Iran to “another 50 North Koreas”, Mr Netanyahu added: “It would make the spectre of nuclear terrorism a clear and present danger.”
