Cameron to ’Israel’: Don’t Strike Iran
Local Editor
British Prime Minister David Cameron on Monday urged "Israel" not to launch a military attack on Iran and said sanctions should be given time to work.
However, he stressed that if the Iranians failed to halt uranium enrichment, then "nothing is off the table".
In parallel, the British PM refuted claims that the sanctions strategy was "fatally flawed", saying "they had helped to slow the nuclear program and reduced Iranian oil exports by 45%."
"If "Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered a military strike, it would strengthen the Iranian regime," he added.
Addressing the Jewish lobby Cameron revealed that he had warned Netanyahu that now is not the time for "Israel" to resort to military action.
"Beyond the unpredictable dangers inherent in any conflict, the other reason is this: at the very moment when the regime faces unprecedented pressure and the people are on the streets; and when Iran's only real ally in Syria is losing his grip on power, a foreign military strike is exactly the chance the regime would look for to unite his people against a foreign enemy," he stated.
He further emphasized that "we need the courage to give these sanctions time to work."
However, Cameron tried to calm some of "Israel's" wrath against his warnings by saying: "A nuclear armed Iran is a threat to "Israel" and the world. And this country will work unwaveringly to prevent that from happening."
